# I ended up removing my African Violets from its pot and getting rid…

_Posted by Paige on 2023-11-17_

I ended up removing my African Violets from its pot and getting rid of all of her soil. The self watering pot she was in had been overwatering her and I noticed a bit of root rot (which I cut off.) in addition to that I saw some bugs crawling around in her soil that might of been feeding on her leaves and her roots. I put her in a brand new pot and soil with proper drainage and have her under a grow light. Is there any suggestions on what else I could do to help with the recovering process?
