Bright above and moist below – horned violets feel at home there
Horned violets prefer to grow in a sunny to partially shaded spot. In the shade they hardly produce flowers and tend to stunt. Whether in a bed outdoors or in a pot on the balcony or terrace – horned violets are suitable for many areas.
These plants want to find fresh soil underground. It should be kept moist and not dried out in the long term. The following soil characteristics are widely beneficial:
- high nutrient content
- moderate to high humus content
- good permeability
- loose texture
Tips & Tricks
If you sow horned violets at home, you should put them in a dark place until they germinate. As soon as the cotyledons are visible, they need a lot of light.
