Hi guys! I recently got a new African Violet but I don’t know why it’s wilting. I thought it was because i overwatered it so i stopped watering for a bit but it’s still wilting. Is it savable? 😭i want to see it bloom

    are you bottom watering? i’ve never seen one like this, im assuming it’s a variegated variety in which case you might be fighting an uphill battle. AVs are (obviously) native to africa where it is VERY hot, sunny, & dry — variegated plants like this struggle to photosynthesize because of their lack of green, but too much bright light will burn them. if you have an east facing window that would be best, I would bet. And bottom watering is a must for fuzzy leaves good luck!

    Are you getting the leaves wet when watering? African violets don’t like to have their leaves wet. They are also s bit more of a low light plant so I’d recommend checking that also. Honestly though? They’re a bit dramatic and difficult in my opinion

      I use a bottom watering pot but I’m not sure why it’s wilting since its been like 100 degrees where i live 🤣

      Maybe it’s getting too much water? How long does it just sit in the water?
