Leaves Pale - Visible Insects Described
Leaves are pale, and there are visible insects or related pests on the plant. They are tiny arachnids measuring about 1/100 inch. These pests are probably only visible with a magnifying glass. They may be white, yellow, brown, red or green in color. If your African Violet has this combination of symptoms, it probably has 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.
