Dropping leaves

This is my first violet and the leaves are starting to brown from the edge and drop and I'm not sure why. Typically water from the bottom and it's right in a windowsill. It's in the same soil and pot as when I purchased it. Thanks!

I found that mine started doing a lot better when I moved it to a bigger pot.

Mine do well in a self watering (or African violet) pot.

It looks like it is giving more energy to the new leaves coming in. Could be two other things as well: did one of the leaves touch the window, did your evening have a cold snap or was there a hot snap during the day. They are really temperamental with direct hot sun or cold. I put mine in a window with light that isn’t direct light if that makes sense? Also, check the soil with your fingers, poke into it a bit and if it’s nice and moist still, Maybe give it a break to let the soil really dry out before your next watering?
