First, the pot is too big for your violet. Soil should be kept moist. Also check to see if it has mealy bugs (little white fluffs near the center of plant). I'm sure someone with more knowledge will chime in.

The leaves look okay to me but you will have to be careful not to overwater it. The bigger and deeper the pot, the more likely it will get root rot.

Thanks for the advice...do you think I should replant it into a smaller pot?

I would definitely repot to something smaller. Don't use the orchid bark, it's just going to break down and make your plant unhappy.

I believe the recommended mix is 1:1:1 spagnum peat, vermiculite, and perlite. My plants seem happy with store mixed AV soil mixed 1:1 with perlite.

Thank you sonority,I am going to do that today and see if it helps. I have some spagnum peat and perlite. I should be able to mix that half and half?

Rhonda -

you can be in trouble - because peat moss is quite acid - and the resulting mix won't be good. I would get a bag of AV soil- Scotts, Miracle Grow - and cut it with 1/2 perlite. It is already adjusted tp be almost neutral and it has fertiliser added - so you can skip on fertilizing for the next couple of months. Your plant is not only in a pot that is 3 times too big, it is also planted way too deep. The leaf stalks shouldn't be buried.

Regarding leaf spots - I am thinking that it came from a greenhouse with 70% humidity, constantly moist soil and light filtered to "just right" - and straight into the house with a humidity of 25% - etc, etc. - so it is adjusting.

I repotted it into a smaller pot, does this look better? You can click on the pic to see a larger version.
