I think you should always remove the mother leaf when it starts to go bad....you don't want rot to spread and take the babies with it.

I don't know if you put some droopy violets in some more humidity would help or not. If they got too hot, they may not recover...I think you will just have to wait it out and see. If the outer leaves remain droopy and it was my plant, I would remove the droopy leaves so the energy goes into the center leaves that might still be good.

Hear, hear -

I would try to spray them a bit. If you overwater stressed plants - they can rot. But you can mist them as much as you want - and if the leaf is alive - it will absorb the water from surface. Exactly as Tish mentioned - if the mother leaf is dead and rotting - you need to remove it asap. Even if the plantlets are small, but the leaves are green - they will pull through. Just do not divide them yet.

I agree you should remove the mother leaf and be careful not to overwater!

Thanks for all of your advice!

I've had a few more mother leaves start to go. Guess they really hated the humidity. But the baby plants all look great. I hardly ever water them. They always feel damp, so I leave them alone.

I do have one leaf that's plantlets are growing on the leaf. How in the world am I supposed to separate them when it comes time? Should I just completely bury the mother leaf with just the babies sticking up?
