In one sentence, describe what the following article is about:

One of the main signs is a "neck," or section of stem exposed beneath the lower leaves. Repot the violet as soon as possible to avoid long-term damage. If the exposed stem part is shorter than 112in (3.8cm), you do not have to cut the stem to repot the plant. Also check the soil. If it is soggy even though the pot drains properly or the plant's roots haven't formed into a ball, your violet needs to be repotted in a pot the next size down. Use a pair of gardening scissors to prune the violet. Take off all flowers and flower buds, since they divert nutrients your plant needs to survive repotting. Also snip off any dead, dried, or discolored leaves you find. Cut as close to the stem as possible. Go back over the stem, dragging the blade from top to bottom. Smooth it out by scraping off any brown spots you notice. Be gentle and use a minimal amount of pressure. You don't want to cut into the stem. Get a good potting soil or mix your own using components from a gardening center. Pack soil into the pot until it is about 1in (2.5cm) below the pot's rim. Poke a small hole in the center of the soil with your finger. You can mix your own soil using components. Try mixing potting soil, vermiculite, and perlite in equal parts. Protect your violet by removing an elongated neck. Cut the stem horizontally with a sharp knife or shears. Make the cut at soil level, which should be about 112in (3.8cm) below the lower leaves. Check the exposed stem for signs of rot. If it appears brown on the inside, continue trimming the stem until all the rot is removed. Center the stem in the pot and place it in the soil. About 2in (5.1cm) of stem needs to be covered by dirt, so deepen the hole as needed. The leaves should be right above the pot's rim. Pack the soil around it to hold the violet in place. If the neck is short, you don't need to cut the stem. Instead, widen the hole in the pot and plant the roots in it like you normally would. Add small amounts of lukewarm water until the soil feels a little moist. Avoid letting it get soggy. Water should not run out the pot's bottom. Although this part sounds strange, you need a zippered plastic bag like the kind you can get at a grocery store. It has to be large enough to contain the plant and the pot. Seal the bag to provide the kind of humid environment African violets thrive in. If you can't get a zippered plastic bag large enough, use a grocery bag or something similar. Seal the bag with a wire tie. Choose a room with a steady temperature and a lot of sunlight. The ideal room stays between 75F (24C) and 80F (27C). Set your violet in a safe, bright spot away from direct sunlight. After about 3 days, check on the plant again. The soil may still be moist and you won't need to do anything. If it is dry, add enough water to lightly dampen the soil again. Seal the bag once you are finished. Open the bag and test the violet by lightly tugging on the stem. If it feels stuck in place, the new roots have begun growing. Leave the bag open for a few days before taking the violet out. Go back to your normal water and fertilization routine to grow a healthy, long-lasting violet.
Check the violet for an exposed stem or brown spots. Cut off damaged leaves and flowers. Scrape off the exposed stem with a dull knife. Fill the new pot with enough soil to bury the roots. Cut off the exposed stem if it is more than 112in (3.8cm) long. Plant the violet's stem in a hole in the soil. Water the soil to moisten it. Cover the plant with a plastic bag. Move the violet to a bright area out of direct sunlight. Water the plant again every few days. Take the plant out of the bag after a month.
