Hints on Violet Culture 
in the Home 
1. CARE IN THE HOME

Keep in warm, well ventilated room, without 
drafts. 
. Always maintain a high humidity about your 
violets. This is especially important with higher 
temperatures. 
. Give as much light as possible; early morning 
sun is ideal or full rays from winter sun. (Dec. 
and Jan.) Protect from hot sun rays in Spring 
and Summer, with thin curtain, tissue paper, 
etc., as the hot sun will cause the foliage to 
become yellow. 
WATERING 
Use tepid water for best results. 
Place pot in saucer or pan and put just enough 
water in saucer to allow soil to soak up just 
enough to moisten surface of soil. Do not allow 
plant to remain in water for long periods of 
time. 
. Water when soil on surface of pot is dry to 
touch. 
. Too much water may cause loss of roots, and 
crown rot.

Well established plants should be fed about 
once every three weeks to a month with any 
reliable balanced fertilizer. Follow directions 
carefully. 
. We recommend using liquid fertilizer for best 
results as this is less likely to burn the tender 
violet roots. 
. Newly potted plants should not be fed until 
new roots begin to form. 
. Over fertilization may cause drooping of the 
foliage and sometimes burning of the leaf 
margins.
