Are these tiny leaves growing near the soil suckers? How do I know what a sucker looks like? I want to check my other violets for them as well but don’t want to pull healthy normal leaves.
Yes that is a sucker and that is what a sucker looks like. It looks just like the central crown but grows off to the side between larger leaves instead of out of the center of the plant. They grow from the same locations as flower stalks, so make sure you don’t see any flower buds on smaller ones. Sometimes flower stalks have small leaves.
