:-) No, they're not like spider plants at all, though that would be really cool! :-) They have multiple crowns that kind of grow out like branches (in the soil) and pop up leaves and more flowers. Rob's got a pretty good description on the Violet Barn website.
I've attached a picture of one of mine that we just denuded. You can see the "Branches" fairly well.

Well it doesn't seem as if I'm able to attach a photo; not sure why, sorry!

Oh ok! I see! I was wondering what made them different from a violet with suckers on it. That picture clears it up! Thanks! Do they need any special care, or are they the same as any other violet (just with more branches)?

Oh and yea, I had some trouble with pictures on another post I made. Glad you got it to work!

Great illustrative photo, Judy! As far as special care, endi92, they need the same as far as light and water but grooming is a bit different. It helps them to have some of the leaves removed to open up the plant to more light - and therefore promote more blooming. A well groomed trailer in bloom can be a delightful thing - like a snowball of blossoms. But grooming them takes some tricks and practice...which I am still working on. There are websites that show you what to do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08tQqxX9Ct8

That's a great video-I remember watching it a couple years ago! The plant in the picture above is actually Rob's Boolaroo. Mine is a little over two years old. It was neglected for the last seven months, but bounced back beautifully. Trailers will teach you patience. It took quite a while for it to branch out like that. Something more about trailers-they seem to do best in wider, shallower pots. That particular one is in a bulb pot, but I've got some pan pots I'm going to be using for other trailers (they're roughly the same).

If you do get one-I'd recommend the Boolaroo, with its easy-going, cheerful attitude. It's a semi-mini. The leaves take extremely well also, if you plant them. We had babies pop up on two planted leaves within a week-I kid you not!

Most of Rob's are pretty good. The minis appear a little more temperamental to me, but it may simply be because they're much tinier and more delicate.

Hope this helps you-they're so pretty! Just got my first standard trailer last week and am looking forward to it branching out and blooming!

Best,

Judy

Oh! I actually found that video while trying to figure out what a trailer was. I wasn't 100% sure what I was looking that though. Now that I have a better idea of what they are, I'll have to watch the video again x) I'll keep an eye out for wide, shallow pots in case I do decide to buy this one!
