Gessie,

It looks like you have 3 ways to go on your foliosa - stake it, let it alone (either it will break under its own weight or get stronger from supporting the extra weight), or cut it and start the cutting in another pot (or the same pot). I don't think I would plant it any deeper. Pinching should encourage it to put out more growth.

B. 'Baby Dress' has been one of the harder ones for me. I think I am on my 3rd one and it is doing great so far. This time I just let it in its original pot from Rob's Violets to see if it would fill the pot out before moving it up. In the past I tried terrariums to watch it slowly decline and die.
