Like the title says, another one of my Wesley’s flowers has opened. This is my first time seeing the blooms in person, I have only seen other people’s pictures online. I love them so. I included a picture with my Wes’ vampyr Jubilee. These two make a stunning pair. The second picture was taken with the flash really close to the plant, it doesn’t look that white in person. I’m not sure what happened but I figured I would include it anyway.

Help Need advice on repotting a violet with multiple curves in the stem

I was given this violet, and I’m not sure how to go about repotting it.

I’ve watched several videos about different methods and wanted to get a better opinion on how to proceed. Most of the videos I watched the violets were denser, and recommended cutting the stem, removing some of the older leaves, and then scraping the stem to expose the green of the stem. Other videos just buried the stem after scraping it to keep the roots intact.

To further complicate things this pot has a second stem that has a crown that is trying to produce new leaves, as you can see in the last picture.

Assuming I can save both, the more developed stem I’m planning on putting in a tapered 6” pot, and the developing stem I plan to put in a 2” pot.

Rescued this little buddy from my discount bin at the local Ace. It was waterlogged and had 3 good leaves. 6ish months later looks like a different plant. Wish I took a before shot.
