If the violet is blooming and the leaves are hanging down, then the plant needs help.

The problem is that in this case there are several reasons for the plant's illness. Some of them contradict each other.

But attentive gardeners will immediately guess what the problem is. There are three main reasons why violet leaves have dropped. This phenomenon is observed even during the flowering period.

The main mistake is excess moisture. Violets do not like dampness. Drainage and uniform watering are important for the flower.

First, you need to dry the soil. Watering is resumed only after excess moisture has left the soil.

The second reason is, on the contrary, connected with a lack of water. Overdried soil is also harmful for violets. But you can't pour a whole liter into the pot at once. The amount of water is increased gradually from watering to watering, reaching the optimal volume.

A draft or close proximity to a heat source can also cause the Saintpaulia to drop its leaves, although it continues to bloom.
