Hi I have my beautiful native violet. My question is I have it cascading but, should I be spraying the leaves that are not getting any feed, a liquid fertilizer. I water it often but I wonder if I should be doing more.

Answer:
ll sounds good. There is no point in spraying new growth. Just relax, Don
