Green vs. Purple Leaf Backs on Same African Violet: Maturity Difference

Jacob's African violets (from same mother plant) showed green leaf backs on some, purple on others. Asked how possible.

Maturity Explanation

Older leaves often develop deeper purple backs; younger leaves stay green. Same plant, different leaf ages. Not a problem if plant healthy and blooming.

Monitoring

If concerned, reply for deeper analysis. But normal variation in many varieties.
