What an interesting article! Thankyou so much for a very informative read. I have been growing this lovely plant as an outdoor one in hanging baskets. I love the dainty flowers on the long fine stems. Here in Australia we call them Nodding Violets. I have to be careful not to let the sun reach them, so they hang under the verandah roof. They get a bit miserable in Winter, but they recover in Spring.
You have made me realise that I must tend to mine. They need repotting probably.
Thankyou again,
Val
