Hi everyone! I think it's time to ask for some advice and care tips for this violet here. I got her from clearance at the grocery store, with some mold at the base. Later she was damaged by a growlight falling on her. Then she developed mold again. I repotted her into new soil and gave the roots a soak in diluted h2o2 solution to combat the mold (That was about 2 months ago). Since then she was very unhappy and drooping, the way violets usually do when underwatered - even though I water her more often than planta suggests (at least once a week, sometimes more). I watered with neem oil + water solution, to give miss thing a little zhuzh, but she is just as sad. The top soil is also always dry, even in the picture, although she was watered a few hours ago. What do I do with her? I'm not new to violets, but I'm an extreme rookie with rescues. Thanks everyone! Help me save this sad girl!

    Hmm how big is the root ball? That seems to be almost to big of a pot for the greenery. My very first african violet i killed but i have two now and they are thriving. I have these under grow lights which seems to have helped tremendously!

      You're right, the root ball is quite small on her. This is the absolute smallest pot I own, but I could see that it could still be too large for the plant.. I'm scared to repot her though, it feels like if I stress her out more - she'll die on me 😅 And also thanks for the advice, I'll put her back under my growlight:)

    Yeah i was thinking the same thing. Repoting now might be the final straw. At least get her under a grow light. And maybe try to increase the humidity a little bit unless she gets mold again

      Watered her thoroughly - she started rotting again. Sprayed the top layer of soil with fungicide, I'm really at my wits end here
