An update on my violacea plant! When I got up this morning, two of its leaves had dropped off. Like I said before, I had been concerned about the leaves ageing (as they normally do on phals!)....

Many thanks for your reply. It is very reassuring that the leaves of the flask seedlings will (hopefully!) change shape when they adapt to higher light levels. I was really worried that they were not...
