    I see this is an older post, but perhaps you could answer a question for me. I have 6 African violets I purchased from Violet Barn a year ago and six months ago. They were all beautiful and healthy looking and all grew rapidly bloomed. They had large leaves and most the plants had leaves which were all more upright than I'm familiar with. Gradually, all but one don't look so good. I can find no evidence of any insects and there are no spotted leaves using a magnifying glass and also banging the pots over white paper. The new leaves are coming out rather jammed together and small in the center of the plant. Older leaves have curled edges. Also, some of them have a sparse leaf arrangement and long stems, except in the center. The bottom leaves on some of them seem to have soft stems that bend over the side of the pot as though they need water when they don't. Also, those plants with the upright long stems had blooms that were more under the leaves. Does this sound like INSV or some other disease or problem?

  • @plantastix
    @plantastix14 күн бұрын

    It sounds like broad mites. It seems to be a growing problem, but without looking at the plant, I cannot tell for certain. Shiny and easily breakable leaves, distorted and small innter growth, and the sick look are symptoms of mites. They are micriscopic. You cannot see them. Please discard the infected plants. I did not know for 2 years, and wasted so much time and money trying remedies before I purchased a microscope and found out what they were.
