Hi yall I recently got a Persian violet, repotted it and it started turning yellow, some leaves had black spots on it. I cut the leaves that turned but it kept happening… does anyone have any advice for what’s happening

definitely looks overwatered! these propagate really easily, you can either chop the top of the stem that still has healthy leaves or just take the leaves themselves and plop them right into fresh soil. I would get some better, well draining soil

It's more than likely fungal. I'd treat with a fungicide
