I have four nice African Violet plants sitting together on a table. I
noticed one of them has something on the ends of many of the top of the
leaves that looks like light brown "dried mud". It doesn't wash off with
water and the plant appears very healthy otherwise. It hasn't spread to
any of the other plants either.

Anyone have any idea what it is and how to get rid of it?

Which leaves? The bigger ones, whose stems are closer to the rim of the
pot? Or newer leaves which are more obviously growing from the center of
the plant?


It's on the leaves between those close to the rim and some new ones in the
center.

If you love these plants, do NOT visit this place unless you're capable of
controlling your spending. Or, walk in with a fixed amount of cash and no
credit card. Don't ask me how I know this. :-)
