Hi everyone- I picked up this Kenyan Violet around 3 days ago from a nursery. She began wilting and now one of her leaves are drooping on top of the wilting blooms- does anyone have any suggestions? #KenyanViolet

Good morning!! I just had to share how happy and proud of my African violet I am 😍 I bought Nemu on clearance for $2 as she was a little worse for wear. I didn’t know anything about African violets but her fuzzy leaves intrigued me and I thought, for $2, what’s there to lose? Now, Nemu is one of my favorites and I’m so proud of myself (and her!) for bringing her back from the plant cemetery!! She is thriving and always popping open new blooms for me 💕 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PlantTherapy #FloweringPlants #AfricanViolet

Help with my African Violet :( Hi, I inherited this African Violet from my grandmother when she passed away in December. It has not been doing well, all the leaves except two are turning brown and limp. I have been watering from above twice a week and I repotted it when I first got it because the plant was unhappy then too, leaves were soggy and rotten. When I got it I removed the dead leaves, repotted in Miracle Gro potting mix, and put it in my bathroom under a grow light. I noticed it wasn’t growing at all under the grow light so I moved it to the sill of a south facing window. Since I moved it, it has gotten even worse. I moved it out of the direct sunlight but don’t know what to do. This plant is really important to me, please please help.
