Usually the leaves will do that if there isnt enough light...they are "reaching" for it....hope this helps! Brent :)

aes, it's probable you don't have enough light. Can you move the light closer to the plant, or maybe the plant closer to the light? Give it a couple of weeks after you move it and hopefully it'll start laying down.

Good luck.

One of my AV's are doing the same thing and it's right there under the light, so I don't think it's reaching... the other one is wilted, although its self watering pot has water and food in it... is there anything I can do for either... (the wilted one I've had about a year and a half, the other one is about 2 years)... in rough "guess-ta-mates"...

My leaves grow straight up too. I had in under a regular lamp and have moved it into a room with another light. Any more suggestions? Mine was not blooming and I was told by another member to wack it on the table a couple of times, and in a few days I had blooms. Talk about a surprise.

Well, there are violets that just have a more upright habit; I have one or two of those. If you like it, keep it. If you don't toss it or trade it. I'm keeping mine.

Korina, sounds like a good idea. I am keeping mine.
