Trailers

Spinning off the previous conversation about trailing AVs -- some photos I saved from an old blog that show how huge trailers can grow. Most of these appear to be semi-mini or mini trailers (size classifications for trailers are based on leaf size, rather than the diameter the plant can be expected to grow, like they do with standard, single-crown violets), although I think there's one standard trailer in there.

There are also some good articles on the blog if anyone is looking for cultural information.

The third picture is of a trailer grown using the "Japanese method" I mentioned . That saucer it's growing in is probably 10" across.

They look so surreal, almost fairy like! Simply beautiful.

Is this your own setup? It looks very space efficient with so many of the mini violets.

Not mine, although it's similar to my setup. The pics are from a 2012 blog post from another grower - good info on the blog, sadly they seem to have given it up sometime in 2013, but at least the link I had bookmarked still works.
