African violets benefit from having their leaves rinsed off with tepid water or the same fertilizer/water mixture, when I water my African violets they get a total shower every time I water them (the fertilizer helps the leaves stay green and helps prevent powdery mildew. Make sure you blot off the excess water on the leaves and from the crown area to avoid water marks and to prevent crown rot. Also, if you are using artificial lighting to grow your African violets make sure you leave the lights off until leaves and especially the centers are dry.

Why have your African Violet leaves become white?
If you mean a white substance covering the leaves it's most likely powdery mildew. This can develop due to a lack of air circulation. Put a fan somewhere near the violets to help circulate the air. You could also change the violet's location if possible to improve its environment. To kill the powdery mildew already on the leaves you can spray a light mist of Lysol onto the leaves. This won't hurt the plant but it will damage any flowers currently open on the violet. You can also wash the leaves carefully in warm water to remove the powdery mildew.

What is 'fertilizer burn' in African violets?
Feeding the plant with too much fertilizer is the cause of 'fertilizer burn' in African violets [Saintpauliaspp].The visual clues to 'fertilizer burn' are found in the young leaves in the center of the crown. The leaves bunch together. Their hairs look brown-tipped, from the fertilizer salts crystallizing on the hairs of the leaves.The gardener's responsibility is as follows:1. Leave the damage as is. African violets are fragile. So the leaves must be allowed to grow out before the damage is removed.2. Flush the soil with warm water, to remove excess fertilizer.3. Wash the center crown with warm water, and dry with a very soft tissue.4. Follow your watering schedule, but with room temperature water, so as to discourage the development of root rot.5. Don't fertilize for four [4] to six [6] weeks.6. Be very conservative and sparing with fertilizer until the damage is gone.
