Hey,
My african violet (which is probably about 9-10 months old) has just put out its first ever buds (which is really exciting), but it also has leaves growing from places I didn't expect, such as low down on the neck (some even just peaking up from under the soil line). Is that normal? Should I pinch them off or just let it do its thing? If I have to groom it, should I wait till it's done flowering first?
Secondly, my violet seems to have a long neck, but I bought it as a very young plant (it was labeled as an April 2015 starter) and I've only had it for about four months. It had a longish neck when I bought it, even though it only had like ten leaves. It seems to early to "neck up", but I don't know. It's my first AV. Any comments or advice?
I've attached some pictures of the plant, it's neck, and the funny neck-leaves. It's supposed to be "Playful Spectrum".
Thanks!
