Your violet needs all the help it can get to recover-damaged leaves are better than no leaves. Your limp leaves may eventually die but by that time your violet should have made new growth so they will not be needed. If they are mushy or turning yellow, remove them.

Yellow leaves are in the process of turning off the chlorophyll factory inside and provide no sustenance for the plant. It sounds like it should be fine as your inner leaves look good. Just don't be in a rush and let your plant recover in its own time.

Did I mention these plants were amazing?
The floppy leaves mostly recovered overnight, some look a bit rumpled, but they are supporting themselves again... More than I expected.

There were only 3 AVs left at the old place, all a bit floppy too, we'll see how they do tomorrow.
The other plants are dry but hanging in there.

I'm always amazed when people say African Violets are difficult to grow!

Plants - you give them a chance and they will bounce back...

Well, it's obvious they aren't too happy just now, the window sills are a bit chillier than the old place, some pots actually developed a mildew, but I think they should be ok come summer - I just have to figure out the new watering regime...
As for my av's - only two of them appear to be having issues, well, three if you count bleaching of leaves from fluorescent lights, the other two just need repotting I think. Getting perlite tomorrow, then I can play in the dirt :-)
I already planted 4 suckers from 2 new plants, the third is going to give me at least four more, but I am debating on waiting to split that one in spring....
Only time will tell really, and patience is key, I just wish it would hurry up sometimes ;-)

Okay, since Irina called me on this tonight, I have to say this-dirt is what is under your nails, soil is what we plant in.

Linda :)

Lol, i thought it's dirt when it's anywhere outside of the pot, or the bag it came in. :-)

Or when the gossip is flying around, then it is also "dirt."
Joanne ;-)

Soil - is a media in which the plants grow, worms crawl, gofers dig tunnles, bacteria breaks the leaves. We are actually using soilless mix. No gofers.
Dirt can be the same material - but used to describe the undesirable substance your dog brought on your carpet. Or what you have under your nails after repotting. May be it is a perfectly good soilless mix - it just doesn't belong there.
Like a weed - a perfectly good plant - but in a wrong place. It is probably very valuable on the pasture. Not in a middle of my petunias.
