It can be easy to grow provided that the conditions for growing described in the first page are met and difficult if the conditions required are not met. Not familiar with the violet plant at Lahore nursery as it been quite a while since i last visited that place.

I would suggest growing this plant in a pot first and later after it has multiplied then divide and consider placing it a soil bed but again the this plant is very particular about soil having richness, good drainage and a shaded portion having little sunshine preferably not the afternoon sun, and roots of this plant prefer moisture.
