@cyndi LOL, I almost had her repotted (first picture) and I lifted the bowl by the edge and it broke in my hand.

@cyndi Yes, I peroxided and Neosporined it. I took off the band-aid I put on it right before bed. BIG mistake because my wedding ring kept hitting it! 😱 I got up and put another band-aid on. My doctor knows how much I am in the dirt. I don’t wear shoes or gloves so she INSISTS I am always up to date on my #tetanus #shots! And thanks for the 💋. My #momma used to kiss all my booboos and I kissed my kids. My mom passed away in Sept and that was a sweet memory. 😢💜😌🙂

#african-violet #repotted #rot I’m not sure what happened. She was doing awesome. Hopefully this will bring her back.

Hoping for a quick answer... Can you top dress #african-violets?

What are you thinking of using to topdress @trishjordan13515

@tinaaune I was thinking river pebbles. I’m trying to save my daughter’s. Although, honestly I think it’s a lost cause. I would think sphagnum would be too moist. I repotted into a AV pot and used a mix of orchid bark, sphagnum moss, and a seed starter mix. She had it in a silver bowl, no drainage, potting soil, and did not water or fertilize appropriately. 😕

That's totally fine, I thought u meant a topdressing of compost or some type of fertilizer @trishjordan13515 😁
