They look fine to me. Those cuts are probably caused by mishandling, but they won't affect the health of the plant.

Hear, hear. Start removing broken leaves - one at a time from the bottom up - once a week.

Regarding the dust. You can give them a lukewarm shower in a sink. If you think that they are totally grimy - first spray them with a dishwashing liquid - like Ivory or Dawn - several drops per sprayer of lukewarm water - and then rinse them. They like to be washed and soil to be leached. The secret is after you are done - put them on a stack of newspapers to drain excess water and use paper towels to blot most of the water from the leaves and centers - before you put them back on their windowsills.

You can use a soft cosmetic brush to remove the dust afterwards. SOFT! You do not want to scratch the surface. If you look at them once a week, remove spent blossoms, pick the dust, turn a bit so they grow symmetrically, talk to them nicely - they are living things - they love pampering ;-)).

But the important thing - watering and fertilizing. They can survive dirt and grime- but they cannot survive overwatering. And without fertilizing - they won't bloom that well.

You have a bunch of very healthy plants.

Good Luck and hope you will make your Mom proud with your blooming AVs.

And when you remove those broken leaves you can root them . I've done it .

I thought the violets can't tolerate water on their leaves, especially in the presence of light. :O

Well....I've started giving some away and in the case of NOID's I've dumped some. But if ever get a nice chimera I may look for someone to trade with.
