HI Mary Beth,
Sounds to me like the leaves are drooping from cold especcailly if you have had them in the window these past few nights here in the Northeast.
You should always moisten soil when you repot and never pack it down. Put the plant in the new container, fill it with your (light) soil mix and tap the container on the table. If the leaves are drooping too much you might want to remove a row or two to help the plant from getting more stressed out.

Fred,
Thanks for your help.
any other suggestions?

I purchased my Anabelle and Isabelle in November and they are doing the same thing. My leaves are firm and not drooping, but curling under. They never get below 65 degrees. They are blooming and seem happy except for the curling. Everything else on the same shelf are doing fine.
Strange.

Hi again,
If the leaves that are drooping and curling under are firm and not floppy try using a violet ring to hold them in place.

I checked with Doctor Optimara (link below; you'll want to keep it) and non-pest possibilities are: too much sun, too cold, and water too cold.

Good luck.

Mary Beth,

Just in case - get a couple of leaves off each plant and put them down for babies.

A relocation shock for the adult plants can be fatal. New babies would give you better plants that would be 100% acclimatized to your house.

I got these two plants a few weeks ago also.
They're beautiful, but mine seem to be so overcrowded, they came with SO many leaves! And lop-sided!

R: Did you check to see if there are more than one plant growing in the posts?

Also anyone that has these, do they bloom often? Mine have just sat there and I'm thinking of giving them away to someone in my violet club that might have better luck with them. I aquired a light stand this summer and have moved them onto there and see if there is a better result. Most of my plants have been growing from really good window light and bloom more often.

I haven't yet examined the plants yet, no.
I suspect that there are multiple plants and/or suckers.
Don't they look a confusing mess?!?!

Tish, drop the plants. No, really, drop them. The shock will sometimes send them into bloom in a few weeks. If you don't want to drop them, a sharp rap on a hard surface, or, if they're in plastic pots, a good squeeze to disturb the roots, can do the trick.

Good luck.

Hey Korina, You are too funny! You make my day. And the plant police is way too funny! Thanks for adding a laugh to the other sometimes too serious way of trying to make these violets behave themselves. They are like children sometimes they misbehave. Keep on with those hilarious remarks. donnaviola
