I have isolated the only two new violets since I got my first ones. Good thing, I got one with mealy bugs. Fortunately I saw them right away and treated it. I haven't seen any more but it is still in isolation and will be for a few months more. I am going to repeat the treatments one more time and repot it. If it still looks clean I won't treat it again, but will still watch it for a while before it joins the general population.
