    In spring, yellowish spots appeared on the leaves of Saintpaulia. There is a plant on the eastern windowsill. I water the top of the pot. Maybe water drops got on the records? What to do with damaged leaves?

      Moisture can indeed cause stains, but it's not just that. Often, violets standing on the windowsill have a problem with leaves due to the cold from the window. With the advent of spring, conditions change and the plant recovers. Do not remove damaged leaves until healthy ones grow back.
      HOW TO AVOID
      Similar situations with stains do not occur when Saintpaulias are kept on shelves, racks, racks, tables with additional illumination.
      On window sills, fence off sockets in winter from the window with at least one layer of newspapers, leaving a “pocket” between paper and glass. Place pots on stands (for example, lay several wooden slats or foam strips on 2-3 transverse bars) so that cold air does not damage the roots of plants.

      WHEN AIRING the room, be sure to remove the violets from the windowsill or protect them by covering them, for example, with a newspaper.

    They began to languish in the senpolia. What could be the reason?

      The reason may be commonplace. In a pot with a plant, it is too compacted and caked with an earthen lump or the soil in which the violet grows does not suit its composition. To stimulate the development and growth of the plant, its root system is dipped in a weak solution of potassium permanganate and salt, and then planted in fresh sphagnum in a tight pot. In March they put in a bright place, watered and sprayed. And the violet will surely come to life.

    After replanting from the pubescent leaves of Saintpaulia, dust or earth was previously cleaned with a damp cloth, now it is swept away with a soft toothbrush - much more convenient.
