It looks dry.

If it is dry, a little water may revive it.

It it is not dry, it looks to be experiencing root rot.

I can see two problems:1 the soil needs to be much lighter, (needs some perlite)
2: the pot seems to be on the big side.
Ok now for a bit of information I learnt here.the plant might be suffering from either too much water or too little.if it don't have a good root system then it can't take up all the water so it starts to rot.
If it's too little then increase a bit.but my guess is that it has a root problem so it's best to unpot it and check the roots .If they have rotted? Cut off that portion up to health tissue, remove the bottom limp row of leaves and repot into a much smaller pot or even a solo cup.i live in Jamaica so when I re root plants I just put it beside the others .But you might need to place it in a baggie for extra humidity because of where you live, this will help it to re root and perk back up.then you can slowly open the bag little by little until you can fully remove it.but this will take a few weeks before its possible to remove it from the bag.you should let it remain until you see active growth taking place.good luck velleta

thank yall so much!

its in a self watering pot right now; which after talking to several ppl is most definitely to large for my plant. i re-potted last week and the roots seemed healthy. (but i will give them another once over) right now my game plan is to remove the lower leaves. (propagate a few if possible). & re-pot into a solo cup. i keep a humidifier near the plants and they get a few hrs a week. i also keep all five of them stacked together on the same shelf. (i read some where they like that. lol)

right now im in KY but im getting ready for an extended visit to FL next month before a move to KS. im a bit worried about how KS will affect them as ive never been and idk where we will be living just yet.

Kansas has some nice humidity levels-depending on where you're living. Gets good sunlight (summer and spring) but can get pretty cold! I've only been to Ft. Riley for a week before, years ago, but it was quite pleasant! Well, I was coming from Maryland at the time, which was very humid!

If the leaves are wilted-I wouldn't plant them. You might be able to cut them off and spruce them up in some water first. Going by your picture, I'd take one of the middle leaves, which look nice and happy!

You didn't say if you reported in a self watering pot or not. They often don't work well. A simple plastic pot with drainage holes in the bottom is best.

hi every one. sorry i didnt come back to update. i assumed the post went dead and got caught up in our move.

Judy, we are heading to ft. Riley actually. im getting pretty excited now that im looking for our rental.

FortySeven, i didnt repot in a self watering pot. i put him in a plain on plastic pot with holes in the bottom. so far the plant and leaves ive started to propagate seem to be doing well. they have gone any more limp at least.

So it really does sound like you're going in the right direction! Please let us know how it goes!

And some posts get resurrected after months-and even years! :-)
No worries!

I thought Ft. Riley was quite lovely myself! Hope you enjoy your time there!

Best,
Judy

Sounds good, always nice to read a progress report. Not only do posts get revived, it can also be quite entertaining to go back over the archives and read older threads. I learned a lot that way. J

another update. so far five (maybe seven) of the eleven leaves i tried propagating have sprouted tiny roots. im also happy to report my plant is doing very well. he's perked up and even has his first flower since the repotting.

typically i would wait until the leaves have a pretty good root system going before i pot but we move in less than two weeks. im wondering if i should try and pot now? i found some tiny 2oz clay pots. i was thinking the best thing for them would be to put them in a baggy with a wet towel until i get to our first destination? and then put them back into there cups of water.

I did a quick scan and did not see anything about your watering practices. Going from dry-to-swamp conditions, especially repeatedly, is a sure recipe for root problems. When you water, water thoroughly until the pot drains, then let the soil go to dampish before you water well again.

Your pot is still too big-it should be 1/3 the size of your violet-but if things are working, don't change!!!

Are your leaves in water? If so, go ahead and pot them up. Try to leave the babies above the soil line. Violets sometimes have a difficult time transitioning from water to soil which is why most growers do not use water to root their leaves. After they are potted, just follow the watering procedure mentioned above. If you can put them in baggies, tightly closed, it would be helpful.

thanks for the advice whitelacey. :) my leaves are in water. its how my gma always rooted her leaves so its the only way i knew. (once i get settled into my new house i cant wait to play around with propagation. lol) i usually wait to pot after they get 'mouse ears' but i just cant keep them in water during our move. most all of my violets are in self watering pots and are doing great. i know several ppl suggest not using them and that my pots are to big but out of my seven plants this was the only one with issues and its now thriving in the new pot. (pictured above. which is not self watering) so i didnt wanna downsize their pot size when they seem so happy. i water when its dry but not bone dry and i never let them soak or sit in water. i also have a humidifier near by my plants and turn it on for a few hrs a week. i did pick up some 2 oz pots for my leaves. i will admit the pots seem so odd bc theyre soo tiny. lol.
