    African violets are very resilient. I basically took mines from the point of death to flourishing. I am not an expert at all, so others may have more specific info. Hereā€™s what I learned: -African violets naturally keeps 3 levels of leaves, then the bottom layer of leaves die off. -It keeps regenerating from the top. -it does kind of looks like itā€™s too much water.

      Okay thank you! Iā€™ll move it to a more sunny area and itā€™s good to know leaves will die off no matter what

      Yes so it likes bright, indirect light. Too much direct light would be too much for it. Other than that itā€™s a pretty easy plant in my opinion

      Hi I think it gets to much water and not enough light and in darker areas needs less water you can move it to brighter spot or use small led grow light and it should rejuvenate

    Hello! My mom kept her AVs under fluorescent grow lights. Iā€™ve continued with that, and follow Plantaā€™s instructions for watering, and theyā€™re always happy! They definitely get completely dried out between waterings. ā¬†ļø Thatā€™s one of her violets. šŸ˜Š

    I have 2, a pink one and a purple on. My purple one is doing incredible and the pink is not happy. I treat them equally (waterings, room, light, humidity, fertilizer). Iā€™m convinced some are more resilient than others.

    Iā€™ve killed 2 in the past few years and they started off looking just like yours looks now šŸ˜© youā€™ve inspired me to pick a new one and try growing it under a grow light like some have suggested. Good luck with your AV! šŸ’›
