Flower,

A couple of thoughts: How did the roots look when you re-potted it? Were they white or brown? Most soil sold for av's is still too heavy. It needs to be lightened up with perlite and/or vermiculite.

You could try re-potting it into a lighter soil, removing any brown areas and then bag or dome it. Also, you can take the sucker, pot it up separately and then bag it. They usually grow roots in about two weeks or so.

I would not remove any leaves for now as your plant needs all the help it can get. Better damaged leaves than no leaves. Unless they start to go brown and mushy, leave them.

If rot has set in, there is really nothing you can do. Try taking a leaf or two, soak in warm water with a bit of sugar and superthrive if you have it and then pot them up. Bag these as well. If your larger plant dies, you may have babies from the leaves.

Good luck!

Great advice from Linda. I grow this one and love it. I can't really see the mix its in or the pot very well, but anyway, if you used the AV mix without adding perlite, it is too heavy and the roots will stay too wet as Linda says, which is what it looks like to me is your problem.

I agree with Perle. It looks like it has been kept too wet for too long. Especially if the previous owners had it in rock hard soil that was too dry. Going from desert conditions to swamp can really play havoc with a violet. If your soil is very wet, remove the plant, soil and all from the pot and let it dry a bit until moist. As the crown grows in healthy, remove the older affected leaves, but not all at once. Bagging will really help, but your soil must be moist, not wet.
