Do not cut off any leaves! The only time I trim leaves is when I remove some outer leaves from well established plants that have more than 4 or 5 rows of leaves (this lets the plant put its energy into flowers rather than into maintaining all that foliage).

Rob's Violet Barn, www.robsviolet.com, has good culture information.

Good luck, and have fun with all those babies!
