Lighting needs to be done more, just so that there is no direct sunlight. Timing requires ten to fourteen hours of light a day. Flowers with emerald colored leaves need lighting more than other plants. The soil in the container needs to be moistened, but if you leave a little dry at the roots, it will be a small kick for the flower, or rather for its inflorescence. Watch for gusts of wind as well as jumps in room temperature.

Violet Optimara loves warmth, so it should be grown between twenty and twenty-five degrees. How to understand that the plant is too hot, not enough light? Very simple! If its buds become smaller, then this is a sign. The air humidity should be from fifty to sixty percent, so you can put a decanter of water next to the plant.

Important! Watch out for roots, and moisture. Do not spray the plant. Because the villi retain moisture, fungus can be provoked because of this.

If there is not enough light, then add additional lighting. Lamps are placed fifty centimeters from the plant.
