Humidity
Primrose-Leaf Violet doesnât require additional humidity. Plants absorb most water through their root system rather than their leaves, so the best way to provide humidity for your plants is through watering the soil.
Soil
Primrose-Leaf Violet does best in well-draining soil. A good soil will contain lots of organic matter such as coco coir as well as perlite or vermiculite to help with drainage. Adding a handful of perlite to regular store-bought potting soil should do the trick!
Fertilizer
Primrose-Leaf Violet should be repotted after it doubles in size or once a year, whichever comes first. Fresh potting soil has all the nutrients your plant needs, so as long as itâs refreshed yearly, you shouldnât need to use fertilizer. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not fertilizer!
