Banana peel
Bananas are rich in nutrients, such as potassium, magnesium, phosphorus and calcium, which are vital for the health of plants, including violets. Take advantage of these beneficial ingredients by using banana peels to make a natural fertilizer.

Leave them alone soak in water for at least a few days, but ideally if you let them sit for a week or more. During this time, nutrients from the shells will be released into the water, creating a nutrient-rich solution. When the solution is ready, use it to water the violets. Be sure to moisten the soil evenly, but avoid over watering.
Lemon or orange peel
The procedure is simple: take the peel of a lemon or orange and put it in a container with 400 ml of boiling water. Then put the container on a low heat and let the mixture boil cooks for three hours.
This process allows the nutrients and flavors from the shell to be released into the water, creating a rich and nutrient solution. This cooled preparation is then suitable for watering violets, as it provides them with the necessary nutrients for growth and flowering.

Other factors affecting the flowering of violets
Light
Violets need bright but indirect light to grow well. Place them where they will receive a few hours of light a day, but avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the leaves.
Temperature
Violets are sensitive to temperature changes. The ideal temperature for their growth is between 18 °C and 24 °C. Be careful not to expose them to drafts or sudden temperature changes.
Air humidity
Violets need slightly higher humidity to stay healthy. If the air is too dry, the leaves may dry out and begin to turn yellow. You can also use a humidifier or place them on a tray of wet pebbles to increase the humidity around them.
Earth
Use a good quality potting soil that is well drained and rich in nutrients. Violets prefer slightly acidic soil, so make sure the soil pH is appropriate.
Fertilization
Regular fertilization is important for healthy violet growth. Use a liquid fertilizer for flowering plants once a month during the period of active growth. However, over-fertilizing can cause problems, so be careful not to overdo it.
