My young violet's leave are beginning to wilt and turn black, the older leaves are turning grey, who can I save it from dying. I give the plant 14 hours of light, switching from a florescent light and a plant grow lamp. What could I be doing wrong?

This video has been both instructional as well as inspirational for me! Those AVs, obviously, can (and somewhat have to) take a lot more "abuse", than most people think! Thanks a lot!

@electriac I think you were trying to @ 11northwood111 I don't have violets-- I need more rugged plants than violets :(, I still love flowers 'though...

My grandfather always said the best cure for a sick chicken is the axe. Unfortunatly saving sick plants is usually not possible. Often overwatering has destroyed the roots and this causes wilting and botrytis to follow. There is evirtually no difference between regular cool white and growth lamps. Remember DRY between waterings.

@looseassociation Grow to a single crown. Keep pot bound. Dry between waterings. Reduce fertilyzer. Long day length 14 hrs under lights

Your violets are lovely and look so healthy and vigorous. Plants are so amazing!

@morgannicgregor Never bottom water violets. It causes fertilyzer build up in the pots as water evaporates and leaves the fertilyzer behind. Water from the top with sufficient amount to wash the pots clean of old fertilyzer. Do not let them stand in water.
