How to Select Healthy Common Blue Violet？

When selecting a healthy common blue violet, look for plants with vibrant, green leaves that are free from discoloration or spots. Ensure there are no signs of pests, such as holes in the foliage or visible insects. Check for a robust growth pattern indicating overall vigor and avoid plants with wilting or drooping stems. A well-established root system, visible but not pot-bound, is also essential. Choose plants that appear well-watered but not overly saturated.
