Work of flower growers in February
Indoor flowers are the first to awaken. This can be understood by the new leaves appearing at the ends of the stems. However, fertilizing and transplanting is advisable only in the last days of the month or even in March.
In early and mid-February, it is recommended to provide fresh air for plants by ventilating the room. And also sometimes water, so that they do not dry out.
This does not apply to specimens that bloom in the winter (hippeastrum, cyclamen, etc.). They need to be fed periodically, watered as the top layer of the earth dries. This is necessary so that they do not weaken from flowering, are able to accumulate nutrients in tubers and bulbs.
In early February, from a dark place they are transferred to the light and planted in a new soil mixture of gloxinia tubers and begonias. In the early days they depart from the winter rest of the senpolia. They can be dived to a new place (provided that they grew on a light windowsill).
Those instances of violets that were on the northern, western and eastern windows, it is recommended to transplant at the end of the month. 
Saintpaulia violet
Of course, the soil mixture for senpolia can be purchased in flower. However, it is better to cook it yourself by adding additional components to the storehouse primer. Such land is ideal for indoor violets, provides good growth and abundant flowering. The soil mixture is prepared from purchased substrate, leaf or garden soil, perlite and vermiculite, mixed in a ratio of 3: 2: 1: 1. It is recommended to add a mineral mixture, for example, АВУУ 10 ml per 10 l of soil mixture. It contains phosphorus and calcium, while there is no nitrogen, an excessive amount of which affects the flowering of senpolia.
