A 'trailer' african violet?

I recently purchased a Rob's Lilli Pilli violet from a nearby plant nursery . .it was labeled as a "semiminiature trailer' and is about the size of a fifty cent piece. what is a 'trailer' African violet? and will it eventually get bigger?

i have been successfully growing African violets for two years, but this is the first time I have come across a 'trailer'.

A 'trailer' african violet?
Trailers are the same as other African violets in every way except one--growth habit. These are branching plants that have a naturally spreading habit. Because they grow multiple-crowned, they can produce huge amounts of foliage and bloom. Because of their growth habit, they are especially suitable for windows.

Unlike most other trailing varieties, ours are true trailers. All have a compact, natrurally crawling habit that requires little or no pinching. All are extremely profuse bloomers and are very highly recommended, especially for novices, since they require little maintenance to grow well.

The size of a trailing violet is determined by the grower. Because they are spreading plants by nature, even "miniature" varieties can grow into very large plants. Should you wish to grow yours smaller, simply keep the plant pruned-back by pinching the tips of runners to limit its growth.

Personally, we prefer to grow our trailers as ground covers. This is how the plant shown above was grown. As the plant spreads, place it into wider, but still shallow (no deeper than 2-3"), pots. Trailers have a shallow root system. Occasional pinching, pruning, and removal of foliage will encourage even more dense, lush, growth.

If you'd like to grow yours in a hanging basket, perhaps in a window, this can be easily done with trailers. Simply grow it in a somewhat smaller pot and let the runners crawl over the pot edge and "hang". Since a window tends to illuminate only the side of the plant facing it, it's important to regularly turn the plant, and to hang it low enough so that the top growth receives light.
Reply:A trailer African Violet is going to grow like a strawberry plant or a plant like a Spider Plant or a wave petunia you but in a hanging basket. Semi-minature means not it should stay neat. The source is the site of the creator.
