African Violet : Soft or Drooping Leaves
A soft and sagging Saintpaulia rosette indicates a serious osmotic pressure defect. Paradoxically, this happens as much through great thirst as through advanced rot.
1. Specific Causes for Streptocarpus sect. Saintpaulia
- !Total destruction of the root system by rot (too much water).
- !Prolonged forgetting to water.
2. Immediate Care Protocol

Evaluate the weight of the pot before watering: if it is very light, it is time to give water.
