African Violets

Is this normal?

11 years ago

I got this plant in Jan 2015 and it seems to be healthy but it doesn't grow from the center like normal. (or what I think is normal) It is growing up tall in the stem with extra little leaves coming out of the stem. Is this normal? All of its fellow brother AV that are growing on the same shelf are growing normally from the center except the trailing ones. Do I need to be doing something for him?

It's a normal trailer. It can be left alone until it grows three crowns. Others will chime in and share about trailers because I don't grow them anymore. Also watch the most recent podcast, All About African Violets by Annie. It is all about trailers.

Okay, That explains it. I took a baby that had popped up and rooted it and should have left it in the pot but it is doing fine so I guess I will have 2 pots of this.
