Leaves Darken on the Edge - Leaves Pale - Visible Insects or Related Pests
Leaves darken on the edge. Edges appear brown in color. In addition, the leaves are pale, and there are insects or related pests on the Violet. These pests are very tiny and may only be visible with a magnifying glass. If your African Violet has this combination of symptoms, it is probably suffering from Mites. Below is a list of the specific Mites which may be responsible.
Check these possible causes against the symptoms you are seeing. Each is accompanied by a full description which will help you determine whether or not it is the cause of the problems your African Violet is experiencing.
