Szeretem a csomag kibontós videóidat, ha idén szerzel új ibolyákat vagy leveleket, kérlek tedd fel , nem a fajták miatt, mert nálunk teljesen másokat lehet kapni, alig van 1-2 azonos, hanem amiatt hogy jó nézni ahogy a dobozból elővarázsolod a szépségeket , köszi

    Hi. I just put 6 of my violets on wick watering. I had previously repotted them so did not want to do that again. I used a large needle to thread the wick up into the soil. My questions are how will I know if it is working? Should the soil always appear wet/moist? Will I know it’s working because the water in the jar is disappearing? Thanks!

    • @grayturtleviolets
      @grayturtleviolets 24 дні тому

      @@karenvknight6516 It should work, as long as the wick is presoaked, the potting mix contains at least 50% coarse perlite, and the plants have well developed root system, strong enough to grow on wick watering. I would water it sparingly from the top, after you thread the wick, to get the capillary action going. Yes, you’ll know it’s working when the potting mix remains moist and the water level goes down in the reservoir over time. Happy growing!
