What is the best way to repot your Violet?
In this article and the steps below, you’ll learn how to repot your Violet, just like you would repot your Verbena as it is in the same family. Follow along as you do it or make notes if necessary.
First, get your Violet loose in the pot
Once you have decided on repotting, do you research. Without research, the repotting process may not be as effective as you think and you can use this as an opportunity to maximise the health and growth of your Violet by checking the soil ph (Acidic) and timing the repot just before the bloom time of the plant too. The bloom time of Violet is: Spring, fall. Once you are sure when to repot, water your soil in preparation for extraction.
Second, prepare the new pot for your Violet
Patience is key when extracting your Violet from the pot. Depending on the age of the Violet, it may have complex root systems. Take care and maybe turn it upside down to ease it out.
Third, select the soil optimally when preparing Violet for repotting
So you have prepared your new pot and also removed Violet from the old pot. The final step is simple, fill in any gaps with Moist, well-drained soil and allow your Violet to flourish.
Looking after your Violet
Read the following information carefully as it will walk you through how to make sure your Violet thrives after the repotting process is over
Can Violet be called anything else?
There may be other more scientific names for your Violet such as Violet Viola or ‘Viola spp.’ as a more botanical name. Consider repotting other plants like a Twinspur or if you want to be different, another type of plant like Japanese Zelkova to continue repotting.

Check out Veronica for another example of a plant that blooms around the same time.
Violet: taking care of your green companion after repotting
In the aftercare of Violet, be sure that you give it the right sun exposure (Full, partial), you’re growing it in the right hardiness zone (3–8 (USDA)) and that your climate is similar to where your Violet is from (North America, Europe). If you do this correctly, your Violet should grow to its mature size in its new pot of 4–10 in. tall, 4–10 in. wide.
Should you grow your repotted Violet in your house or outside?
Whether Violet is kept inside or out after repotting is dependent on personal preference and you may wish to rotate your Violet from one environment to the next as the seasons change. So, compare your local climate to your plants natural climate: North America, Europe. Also, make sure you’re nearby the recommended hardiness zone if keeping outside: 3–8 (USDA)
