Why are my violas wilting?


Our Advice:

Wilting violas may be a sign of several issues, including underwatering, overwatering, root rot, or pests. If the soil is too dry, the plant may wilt due to lack of water. On the other hand, overwatering or poor drainage can lead to root rot, which can also cause wilting. Pests, such as aphids or spider mites, can also damage the plant's leaves and cause wilting. To address these issues, ensure proper watering and drainage, and check for and address any pest infestations.
