One of my African violets has drooping leaves. it has been treated the same as all the others and they are fine. Not sure what to do about this so any advice is much appreciated Thanks in advance moderator's note: added a more descriptive title to topic To hide these ads please register / sign in

Since everything else is the same for it as the other violets I would think it's something to do with the plant itself. Have you checked the roots to see if they are pot bound or girdling, that can put a plant under stress. _________________ To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with Spring ---- George Santayana

.thanks for the good advice I went straight down to the greenhouse and repotted the plant. It looked OK except for the outer drooping leaves. My question now is should i cut off the outer leaves or is this a bit drastict.
