The African Violet [Saintpaulia] continues to increase in popularity, having developed over the past fifty years from its few hundred varieties to the thousands that exist today in an ever-increasing range of colour & type.
This complete guide includes chapters on the plant's history, development and classification, and a wealth of practical information and advice on propagation, general care, hybridisation and the prevention and treatment of pests and diseases. Written in a non-technical and readable style, it explodes the myth that African Violets are difficult to grow and provides the grower with the know-how to make the most of this delightful and popular plant.
