Florists love to decorate their rooms and living quarters with various plants and flowers. Most often, on the windowsills and in the rooms, you can meet saintpaulias (indoor violets), which differ in excellent external characteristics, and at the same time they are completely undemanding in agricultural technology and caring activities. In this article we will tell you about one variety of violets, which is called the violet Gold of the Scythians.

The violet variety Le-Zlato of the Scythians differs from many others precisely in that the flowers are very large, double, lush and look really very decorative. The flowers are painted in a white-yellow hue, which also looks very interesting, and the Violet gold of the Scythians can easily be combined with Saintpaulias of other varieties and varieties. The petals of the plant are corrugated, have a delicate pinkish border. If the saintpaulia is kept in not very warm conditions, then green furrows, similar to a fringe, can form on the edges of the flowers. A flower that has not yet fully blossomed, the petals are painted in a light monochromatic color, but when blooming, the flowers look incredibly attractive. The flowers become brighter as the plant grows larger and develops. All of this can happen quickly, within two to four days.

The leaves of the violets of the Scythian Gold are also slightly wavy, they look very organic together with the flowers. They are slightly elongated, the edges of the plant are slightly embossed. The color of the leaves is medium green, in general it is very bright and interesting. Each peduncle can have from three to four buds. As a rule, they are quite firmly attached to the petiole, they are also distinguished by their strength and do not fall apart. In general, flowers are a visiting card of the violets of the Le Zlato variety of the Scythians, so the gardener should definitely understand that all the care measures will not be in vain, and that such an excellent result will certainly be obtained if the grower takes all measures and makes every possible effort to grow and develop flowers corresponded to the norm.

Today, in floriculture, in indoor floriculture, several varieties of this variety are distinguished - these are LE - Gold of the Scythians and AR - Gold of the Scythians. In general, they have almost identical external characteristics and identical needs for agricultural technology and care. But the first version of the plant has a brighter and more prominent pink tint than the second variety. This, perhaps, is the difference, and there are no other differences. Repotting violets is worth about once a year. Twice a year, the florist organizes and carries out the treatment of violets against diseases and against insects that can harm the plantings. Many growers are well aware that it is much better to carry out periodic preventive measures than to then try to save the violet in case of insects or disease.

In order to form an attractive and interesting violet bush, you should carefully remove the extra petals from the central part of the rosette. Violets Zlato Scythians are independently capable of creating a rosette and buds of the correct shape; the florist's task is to maintain it and create an even more well-groomed and attractive appearance of violets. If suddenly the peduncles cannot rise above the leaves, as well as form lush and attractive flowers, then this suggests that the plant's immunity has decreased, that it is sick and needs help from the florist.In this case, it is better to immediately inspect the plant, and then process it with chemicals so that the planting will soon return to normal.

Thus, we have listed some of the features of the violet Gold of the Scythians. Next, we will tell you in more detail about how to properly care for the Zlato Scythian variety, how to propagate the violet of this variety. Care is the main part that completely depends on the grower himself. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that if the care meets all the standards, then the violet Zlato of the Scythians will reach its maximum, become very decorative and attractive, which means that the florist will achieve his goal - he will receive a beautiful and healthy flower.

Care and reproduction of violets Zlato Scythians

Violet le Zlato of the Scythians is a very fragile plant that looks very tiny and delicate. In this case, they really just need a lot of light. It is worth emphasizing that almost all varieties of violets, not only the Scythian Gold, respond well to light and are thermophilic plantings. It is best to immediately place such a plant in a room where enough light will fall, but the sun's rays should not be direct, otherwise this will lead to the plant getting burns. If there is not enough light, then the flowers will not be able to grow and develop normally. The light should be very soft, diffused, this option will be the most optimal for violets, and in this case only violets will feel the best way.

If the violet Zlato of the Scythians experiences a lack of lighting, then this can lead to the fact that the violets will become wilted, dull, completely nondescript. Also, the cuttings can stretch very much, and this will not only worsen the external characteristics of the plant, but also generally make it weak and completely non-decorative. With the arrival of winter, the plant should be supplemented with lighting, and this should be done with the help of means for artificial lighting - phytolamps, fluorescent lamps. Then indoor plants, even in such harsh conditions, will remain in shape and feel quite comfortable.

It is impossible not to pay attention to the fact that the violets of the Zlato Scythian variety can be demanding on the soil mixture and its composition. In general, soil for indoor plants can be purchased at any specialized shop for flower growers, as well as in a nursery, where you can buy the violet seedlings themselves. Quite often, a gardener can independently prepare the soil at home. In order to make a high-quality and suitable soil mixture, it is recommended to sift the garden soil, add sand to it. After that, the mass is mixed well into a homogeneous mass, after which it is calcined in the oven to kill all pests and all bacteria. You can freeze the soil mixture, then pests and pathogenic bacteria will also die very quickly from low temperatures.

The container into which the violet Zlato of the Scythians will be planted must be prepared in advance. To do this, a drainage layer is laid on the bottom of the pot, which can consist of a special drainage filler, expanded clay or pebbles, broken brick. Thanks to the drainage layer, all excess moisture will leave the soil, which means that the root system will be safe and not subject to rot or any other diseases. When a florist selects a container for planting, he should also bear in mind the dimensions of the pot. The containers can be of different sizes and are divided into several main groups.

• for adult violets Zlato Scythians, dimensions of 9x9 centimeters are perfect
• if these are medium-sized violets - 7x7 centimeters
• 5x5 centimeters for the smallest Saintpaulias, which are also found in floriculture, as well as for those plants that have just begun their growth and development.

A violet of the Le-Zlato variety of the Scythians will not fit too small a container, because because of it the plant will not be able to develop the root system normally. It is also worth using small pots only for very young violets. Mature plants should be planted in miniature pots, whose diameter varies from 18 to 20 centimeters. Very large pots do not need to be taken for indoor flowers such as violets. The fact is that the root system will grow to the size of the pot, and the plant simply will not have the strength to develop inflorescences. So the roots will be abundant and strong, but the upper part, the flowers - they will be absent altogether.

Watering is also a part of agricultural technology, which in no case should be forgotten. The frequency and frequency of watering will depend on what time of year it is. When the heat and heat comes, then watering should be more frequent. The violet should be watered at least once every 7-10 days, and at the same time control the extent to which the soil has dried out. Moisten the flower in different ways. The most undesirable is the spraying of water from a spray bottle, since the droplets will remain on the top of the plant and will provoke the development of infections and diseases. Violets perfectly relate to high air humidity (perhaps this is the result of the fact that a similar regime was established in the homeland of violets). In this regard, flower growers very often place containers with water next to the plant, which evaporates and creates a humid microclimate. You can also use special devices that just increase the level of humidity in the room, but again, this is an expensive technique, and not every florist wants to purchase it.

Top dressing for the violet variety Zlato Scythians should be applied during a period of very active growth and development of plantings. In winter and autumn, it is best not to feed the bushes at all, since at this time the flower is at rest, and the additional load can cause real stress in the violet. In order for the foliage to grow in large quantities, it is necessary to use preparations and minerals, the main component of which will be nitrogen.

If a florist improperly cares for violets of the Zlato Scythian variety, this can lead to the fact that the plants will begin to hurt. If the air temperature in the room is too low, then rot or fusarium will begin to develop, and if this happens, then the affected parts of the plant must be removed from the bush, and then the bush itself must be treated with some chemical components. We will also talk about the most common diseases and their causes a little later in this article.

There are several very significant points to remember when feeding:

• you should not feed very young varieties of violets le Zlato of the Scythians who have not reached the age of two months
• violets of the Zlato variety of the Scythians who are sick, or on which pests were found, are also not recommended to be fed, as this will be an additional load for planting
• it is strictly forbidden to apply fertilizers if the air humidity is too high, as well as under the influence of direct sunlight, as this can only provoke some diseases and infections.

Among the most common diseases that can affect violets, it is worth highlighting such as:

• fusarium - it occurs due to sudden changes in temperature, as well as if the grower decides to water with cold water. It just provokes rotting of the root system and, as a result, the violet of the gold of the Scythians begins to get sick, show its wilted and unhealthy appearance. You can cope with the disease without consequences if you tackle it in time.
• powdery mildew - it appears as a typical white bloom on leaves and stems.Usually powdery mildew is nothing more than the result of lower temperatures, as well as increased air humidity, and therefore the plant needs to create all the necessary microclimate conditions so that it develops correctly and gives an excellent decorative result. If you do not get rid of powdery mildew and its signs in time, this will lead to the death of the planting
• late blight - this disease develops as a result of the fact that the plant does not have enough lighting, and at the same time an excess of moisture is created in the soil. Leaves and stems begin to wither, look completely unattractive and lifeless
• gray rot - the leaves may begin to rot due to the fact that water gets on them. The same goes for flowers and rosettes, so water the plant very carefully so that moisture does not remain on the green and flowering parts.

I would like to talk about the reproduction of violets of the Le Zlato variety of the Scythians. One of the most common breeding options for violets is cuttings. Cuttings can be planted in a soil mixture that was prepared in advance, and there they can be further grown to the required state. It is also worth remembering that the young leaves of the Zlato Scythian violet are very fragile, and they must be handled as carefully as possible. It is best to take leaves from a plant that is either in the flowering stage, or is just starting to bloom. Planting cuttings should definitely be carried out at an angle of 45 degrees - this is a rule of agricultural technology that is recommended to be followed.

In order to successfully propagate the Violet Zlato of the Scythians, it is worth taking care of the quality of the planting material. The leaf is best taken from the very center of the outlet, it should not be the youngest, but at the same time it should be healthy, without visible damage or signs of disease. The cut of the leaf should be treated with a disinfecting agent, ideally potassium permanganate or coal, which has been brought and crushed to a powder state, is suitable. After that, the planting materials are placed in a container filled with clean and settled water at room temperature.

This procedure is carried out so that the leaf of the violet Zlato of the Scythians gives roots and, accordingly, can further take root in containers with soil mixture. After about 2-3 weeks, the roots will begin to peck at the leaf, and after that it will be possible to plant them in the soil mixture. It is best for such a soil to include sand and a small amount of peat, as well as perlite. After planting, the stalk of the violet Zlato of the Scythians is under a hood, where the required level of moisture is maintained. The hood must be transparent to allow diffused sunlight to pass through. Such conditions will be as close as possible to greenhouse ones - exactly the kind in which the variety of violets le Zlato of the Scythians feels great.
