Hello,
I purchased 4 African Violet plants from a garage sale 2 days ago. Only one of them was flowering. The leaves of all the plants are sort of a different shade.
One if the plants looks a lot "droopier" than the rest. It also has little white specks on the soil. They don't look like mushrooms or anything. More like dried up fertilizer. Any ideas?
Right now the plants are all on an east window, and receiving about 8 hours of indirect, not bright light at a temperature of 69.8 F. the image above is a comparison between the only flowering plant, and the droopy plant with white specks on the soil.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you, butterflylady29, for your input. The soil does seam a bit soggier than the rest. I already read that when the african violet is watered with cold water, the leaves may start to curl downwards which is sort of what is happening to this one. I am thinking that the previous owner of these violets had this particular one in a cold place, causing the water in the soil to become colder when watered.
It's a possibility, right?
Either way, I will just treat this plant just like the rest of them....and hope it will recover
