Violet YAN-fairy tale: photo

The violet was discovered by Baron Walter von Saint-Paul in the east of the African continent, in the mountains. But in fact, it was first discovered by a botanist from Germany, Herman Wendland, and it was to him that the Baron gave the found Saintpaulia. The scientist grew seedlings using seeds and promoted their flowering.

So in 1893, a previously unknown variety appeared, which Wendland classified as a member of the Gesnerieceae family and recorded as “Saintpaulia” (Saintpaulia) after the baron’s surname. The name “Uzambara violet” is also assigned to this crop because of the place where it grows wild, and its flowers are slightly similar in appearance to the inflorescences of violets (viola).

Beginning of selection

The violet was presented for the first time at an international gardening exhibition in Belgium, in the city of Ghent. After which gardeners from Europe began actively cultivating this excellent crop; in 1894, Saintpaulia found its way to the American open spaces, this contributed to the rapid transformation of America into the world center for violet breeding. In 1898, breeders for the first time produced varieties with inflorescences of white, pink, burgundy, and reddish colors; until that moment, people only knew about violet and blue violets.

Saintpaulia appeared on Russian territory in the 50s. twentieth century, they were initially cultivated exclusively in the greenhouse. At the moment, there are more than eight thousand varieties of the most diverse colors, sizes and types, but every year scientists delight with more and more new varieties of this wonderful crop.

Botanical description of the plant

Indoor violet (the second name is Saintpaulia) is a herbaceous plant with a fibrous surface underdeveloped root system. The "Yan" variety is represented by many varieties. They are united by a compact leaf rosette from 15 to 40 cm in diameter and large inflorescences 5–7 cm in diameter. The leaf blades, depending on the variety, can be glossy or pubescent.

Leaf color varies from pale green to dark green, with possible variegated patches of yellow or white flowers, as well as a border along the edge of the leaf. The shape of the leaves is round, sometimes with a pointed tip, in most cases with a serrated edge. Inflorescences can be double or semi-double, basket-shaped or star-shaped.

The color of the petals is varied:

• creamy white;
• pink;
• peach;
• salmon;

A copy was sold for $ 1000.
Many varieties have petals edged or interspersed with a more saturated shade than the main background. Saintpaulia "Yang" blooms twice a year, flowering duration is 2-4 weeks, in some varieties - up to 6 weeks. The interval between flowering is approximately 2–4 months, so the dormant period of plants is relative and does not require special attention.

Growing Tips

In order to grow this wonderful variety at home, you should carefully study the following recommendations from experienced gardeners.

• Landing. Pots for planting violets should not be very large. Ideally, the recommended diameter of the pot is three times smaller than the rosette of the plant. Leaf cuttings and “babies” can be grown in small plastic cups, while adult specimens should be grown in clay or plastic pots. When planting, you can use ready-made soil for Saintpaulias or make a mixture of leaf soil, turf, coniferous soil and peat in a ratio of 3: 2: 1: 1. Don’t forget to add a baking powder to the soil: perlite, vermiculite or sphagnum moss. It is necessary to update the soil mixture in adult plants every two to three years.
• Lighting. The plant requires good lighting for at least 13–14 hours daily. In winter, this violet should be kept on the window next to the glass and additional lighting should be used. In summer it is necessary to shade it from direct sunlight.
• Temperature. This variety likes warmth (20–22 degrees Celsius). But if you do not keep the plant cool at the stage of bud formation, then the characteristic green lines on the flowers will not form.
• Air humidity. This flower loves humidity - it should be at least fifty percent. However, you should not spray the violet with a spray bottle. It is better to place it on a tray with moistened pebbles or place a container of water nearby. Once a month you can arrange a hygienic shower, but after that be sure to remove all the water that remains on the leaves.
• Watering. Despite the general unpretentiousness of this variety, the plant needs to be watered regularly with settled soft water at room (or slightly higher) temperature. You can also water through a tray and using the wick method. The main thing is to avoid water droplets getting on the leaves and rosette.
• This variety grows quickly , but it is necessary to feed the flower with special fertilizers during the period of active growth and at the stage of bud formation. In autumn and winter, the plant does not need fertilizing.

Beginning gardeners should remember that for good flowering violets need potassium and phosphorus, and for strong leaves - nitrogen.

Methods and features of variety propagation, how are varietal characteristics transmitted?

The cutting method is considered the easiest to perform , which is the reason for its popularity:

• The most important point is the choice of leaf; it must be large, intact and cut from a flowering plant;
• Before planting, the leaf must be placed in warm boiled water for a couple of hours, to which a small amount of potassium permanganate must be added in advance, this is necessary in order to disinfect the leaf;
• The cuttings of the above-mentioned leaf are cut at a right angle and planted in loose soil.

Peculiarities

Currently, there are two varieties of violets with the same name “Fairy Tale”. The first is a varietal violet bred by Natalya Puminova, and the second is a plant by breeder Alexey Tarasov. Since these violets have little resemblance in appearance, when purchasing, pay attention to the prefix before the name of the flower. Capital letters before the variety name most often (but not always) indicate the initials of the breeder. Violets bred by Natalya Puminova have the prefix “YAN”, and flowers selected by Alexey Tarasov have the prefix “AB”.

Distinctive features

Professional collector N. Puminova abandoned the traditional wick watering of violets . Despite the fact that violets grow and bloom well thanks to this method, violets growing on wicks grow excessively large rosettes that do not always ripen, and the seed pods of the plants deteriorate. In addition, according to the specialist, jars with laces do not have an entirely aesthetic appearance. Therefore, the breeder recommends using the usual watering method.

The most important feature is the desire for perfection and unprecedented demands on the results of one’s creativity. It is known that Natalya Alexandrovna produces new varieties infrequently, little by little. What is the reason for such slowness? Of course, with quality. New varieties undergo strict and careful selection, and then only the violet variety receives a name and becomes a real masterpiece.

The master’s criteria are not simple: the rosette must be neat, she gives preference to small standards, but at the same time the flowers must be large and preferably have strong peduncles , and the flowering must be rich and abundant.

Reference! Now work is underway to create a variegated violet, the results are in - an unusual violet with rich red blooms has been developed. “There must be harmony,” says Natalya Alexandrovna, creating her samples, striving for perfection.

The main argument and argument in favor of growing violets is very simple and clear. Wonderful violets are compact, they can be placed throughout the house, and with proper care they bloom almost all year round! And the richest range of colors can always “decorate” even the most gray and colorless everyday life, filling the house with joy and harmony.

Reviews

Dina Dovlatovna. “The variety “23-Faberge Smile” attracted my attention with its unusual flowering. I love flowers with green tints, and here there is such luxury: both the green buds and the corollas with a greenish-brown tint of the petals. I couldn't resist and bought it for my collection. Moreover, the variety tolerates heat well - just for my conditions. The only drawback I can name is the slow flowering.”

Valentina. “I received a leaf of Saintpaulia “23-Faberge Smile” by accident at an exhibition. I was surprised that many children were born without problems. But they grew for an insanely long time, and, in my opinion, they were preparing to bloom even more slowly. For about a month I admired small green balls with incomprehensible, torn contours. And then gorgeous roses from a mixture of shades opened. This is my first bloom so far, only four flowers. And my friend’s violet is blooming actively and looks like a green cake with a sea of ​​whipped cream on top.”
