African Violet Long Neck: Why It Happens and How to Fix It

African violet long neck — the bare, elongated stem beneath the crown — is a common problem caused by aging lower leaves, low light, and irregular repotting. This guide explains exactly why the long neck forms and walks you through two proven methods to fix it: carefully scraping the exposed neck and burying it deeper during repotting, or beheading a severely overgrown plant and re-rooting the crown in fresh, airy soil. Both techniques restore your African violet to a compact, stable, healthy rosette. #AfricanViolet #PlantCare #IndoorGardening #Houseplants #RepottingPlants #Lykstage #LykstageVideo #LykstageCreator #LykstageCommunity
