African Violet Yellow Leaves: Pot Size Is the Problem

Your AV is in a pot too large. Added soil acts like a sponge, causing root rot → yellow leaves, no flowers.

African violet with yellow leaves

Fix

1. Remove all added soil. Find original rootball.
2. Repot into original small plastic pot.
3. Water when top ¼ dry. No fertilizer until recovery.
4. Protect from direct sun (move just beyond rays).

AVs thrive potbound. Downsizing restores wet/dry cycle. Remove yellow leaves—they're done.
