African Violets

Question

I have 3 African violets that I inherited from my Mom. I watched her care for them so when they became mine I did exactly how she cared for them. It’s been 16 months without an issue but now they look like this. I have thought reporting but not sure how since I know you can touch the leaves. Please help. It’s very important to me that they stay alive.

Answer 1

It is OK to touch the leaves, but you should never let water splash on the leaves. Repotting may help, and make sure they are not overwatered.
