Hi this is my plant that got damaged from HEAT. A few wks ago our climate was very hot and this is what happen to all my violets,they are in a northern exposure. When I first saw them this one did not show any damage but now three wks after all of them have started to show it, so each few days I have to be removing drooping leaves some have even lost an entire side of leaves. So I think your problem was too much heat. All you can do is remove the leaf and put the plant in a less light situation. The big leaf next to it shows burnt to but it will take longer to fall off. I know this is upsetting for you but as linda say " its a learning experience". Good luck. VELLETA

Jodi -
looks like the old burn form the light. Remove the damaged leaves and repot your plant. Your LEDs probably were way too close.

Velleta,

Your plant looks good. Good job! Are all your burned babies looking this good?

Hi Linda, how are you? Well they only look good because of you and your expert advise. Sadly I lost my warm summer sunshine. ;( but it was the worst affected. I am sad but to be very honest the rest are ok so I just take a deep breath and move forward. They are all growing new leaves. I am not looking for a bloom for now but I an gaining the experience I need to keep them healthy. Hopefully they will thrive and reward me later. I also notice the ones place in the small cups grow quickly so I am SLOWLY getting their. I am a bit more confident with them now so who knows maybe in the near future I will be able to say" violets are really easy once you know what to do". And that's all because of all the wonderful people here. Thanks again. VELLETA.

One plant I just brought home from the store is developing spots like that on its outside leaves too. I am assuming it either got a bit cold on the way home, or the store watered them too generously...
It's still flowering, so I am leaving it as is for now (put down a 'perfect' leaf for insurance though).
And nope, no sign of bugs, but I am keeping it separate until I re-pot it into fresh soil...

Thanks guys! That one is the only one who got burned. It was in the same spot, same distance from the fixture but I switched the bulb from the compact flourescent to a LED. I removed that leaf and switched back the old bulb and everyone seems happy. Here's the current grouping.

I love how you have your plants in spice pots! Such a unique arrangement! Lovely plants.

Thanks! The Lyons violets come in square pots and fit perfectly.
