I suspect this is over fertilization damage.

Flushing out every 6 weeks will help but make sure you are giving only 1/3 teaspoon fertilizer to one gallon warm water.

These leaves will be damaged forever but as the new crown develops, it should come in healthy. Eventually you can pull away the damaged leaves.

Nancy, I get so much knowledge from you! Thanks for helping me learn to keep my plants looking great. These aren't my Mother's AV's! :)

I was using 1/4 tsp. per gallon of water of Better-Gro Orchid Plus which is 20-14-13 and urea-free. I've ordered some new fertilizer (Dyna-gro) 7-9-5 and 3-12-6 which I hope will be a better choice for my minis, as Optimara recommends 7-9-5 for minis. Hopefully, I'll be less likely to over apply the fertilizer.

Thanks,
Elaine

That was a typo or just a mistake! Don't give 1/3 teaspoon but rather 1/4 teaspoon fertilizer.

Just my 2 cents: I've cut back to only 1/8 tsp fertilizer per gallon of H2O to keep my violets from getting damaged. It seems certain violets are more prone to fertilizer damage than others. Luckily I still get good growth and great blooms, so I' assume the AVs are getting the nutrients they need.
