I got this Little Crystal about a month ago at a violet society sale. It had blooms when I bought it so I didn’t pay much attention to the leaves looking crumpled. Now that the blooms fell off the leaves growing out of the crown look too tight and very deformed.
It’s kept under grow lights with about 10 over AVs. I have others in the same type of pot. And they all get very weak AV food weekly.

Are those center leaves hard and stiff?
I’m commenting because I need to know too.

These look like bugs.
These could be thrips. Your not going to be able to see broad or cyclamen mites to the naked eye.
Thrips! Nuke them with a spinosad spray. Spray every week for 6 weeks to get rid. Make sure you treat every plant in the room, because they are 100% all infected by now, even if you think they aren’t. Adult thrips can fly and they spread very fast. You’ll need to spray all plants in the room for 6 weeks to break their lifecycle
