Great question! Too cold. At 50° it could even die. See if these help.

Hi, Betty,
50 °F is too low. 70° to 80° is optimal, but never below 60°.

The ideal temperature for African violets is from 65 °F to 75 °F. They will not grow to their potential in temperatures below60 degrees but they will survive. A temperature below 50 degrees is fatal.
