Question

african violet leaves All of a sudden all my african violets the leaves are turning yellow around the edges of the leaves. What is wrong?

Answer
Debbie,
I was so glad you included a photo. After looking at the leaves, I'm wondering if this violet is a variegated type, which means that either the leaves or the blooms (or both) are either spotted, or several different colors. This can be a very beautiful type of plant. I'm guessing this is a fairly new violet? Anyway, it looks normal to me-- just like a variegated plant. If it is an older plant and this reaction is new to the plant get back to me and I'll explore it for you. Sometimes cold water can cause spotting, but this doesn't appear to be the case. I would also be interested to know what the blooms look like on this particular violet. Has it bloomed yet, even months ago?
