Help!!

Can anyone tell my why my lovely african violet has droopy sad leaves. She is moist not soaked, she is in the light not direct, she is kept warm not boiling oooo she looked good about a month ago :-3

Could have a virus of some type, i say buy a new one. This time of year indoor plants can become ill, (really), replace it?

Minks, i've never been able to have an African Violet beyond 2 weeks they always curl up & die on me. :-5

Mine that a friend gave me blooms and blooms and blooms... it's behind



my kitchen sink though so I think it gets good humidity, you might try

raising yours up on pebbles in the saucer and putting a little water in

just so it can evaporate. Sometimes they don't like their leaves

touching the edge of clay pots, not sure why but I know that's what I

heard.



Do you feed it at all?



One food I like is Schultz Instant... easy to use, too.

African Violets are very susceptible to any negative thoughts or comments that might be in their general vicinity, thus, droopy sad leaves. This can be cured by playing soft "Cool Jazz" near the plant and speaking endearingly to it. If you think you hear the plant answer, please call Dr. Myron Lefkowitz at the clinic 415-546-3719

Isn't the singing only a sneaky way of giving the plant carbon dioxide?

thanks all for the advice, food is a good idea, no clay pot so that is no issue, I listen to classic rock music daily so maybe she hates the beatles, stones, pink floyd etc. Dang. And godforbid I sing she would be dead in a heart beat.
