African Violet Leaves Going Limp and Dying After Move

Two-year-old violet, moved to California, now has limp, dying older leaves despite new growth. Watered from top, fertilized.

Recommended Care Adjustments

• Water from bottom, not top.
• Use urea-free fertilizer at 1/4 strength every watering, or fish/kelp extract.
• Ensure pot is 1/3 plant width.
• Provide 10–12 hours bright indirect light.
• Increase humidity: pebble tray with water (pot above water).
• Never let soil dry completely.

Old leaves naturally die off, but widespread limpness signals care issues.
