An african violet makes one center which keeps growing and the outer leaves get old and should be remove. - occasionally - you can get 'suckers" other centers forming and these should be remove.

A trailer habitually makes more centers/rosettes and these "trail" around the main center and thus form a large plant.

Example "Rob's Pilly Lilly" being a miniature trailer.

I can send you some leaves to start you off - address please ! I just ordered some plants from e-bay Jacks African Violets, Nice plants. Never got leaves of E-bay just from other Vendors, such as Lyndon Lyon and Rob's Violet Barn and others
