OK Guys, here's what I decided to do. I tried to follow the suggestions on Rob's web site http://www.violetbarn.com/trailing_violets The hyper link did not include that I found the information in the Library, About training violets, the specific information I used is under Grooming. To promote dense growth and good form.

Here's the picture after removing all the larger leaves to allow the light to get to the center of the plant. You can see there is tons of new growth. There was one runner that was sticking straight up. I cut it off, scraped it and put it in a 2 1/2 inch pot. There are about 6 to 8 runners that are laying down. When I get my 8 inch pan pot I will anchor the runners as evenly as possible around the pot. I left the follage on the ends of the runners that are starting to trail over the pot.

Wish me luck. I will post another picture in a couple of weeks.

Nanna
