Hello folks,
Ever since I made this post, I've learned so much more about Neofinetia and its variants. The red/purple/black spots are normal, to an extent. They are "beauty" marks, almost. Some variants actually get these dark red/black spots as a normal occurrence.
To what degree these spotting and blotches occur, varies between each individual plant. But nonetheless, it is still a healthy plant and should be seen as something that adds another angle of the plant's aesthetics.
Those freckles and red/purple blotches are commonly found on some Neofinetias more than others.
I've noticed that this trait can often be seen in Neos with red flowers/spurs. However, I do believe this trait can be seen in other Neos as well. Just maybe, not as often.
Ex: Benisuzume and Shutennou

I've actually grown to like the dark colored-looking areas at the base of the plant. Although admittedly, the out-of-placed spots on leaves that are far away from the center of the dark areas do look a bit... displeasing. But alas, it is up to the eye of the beholder to judge that, right?
