Synopsis
The African Violet (Saintpaulia) continues to increase in popularity, having developed over the past 50 years from its few hundred varieties to the many thousands that exist today in an ever-increasing range of colour and type. This complete guide details the plant's history, development and classification, and practical information and advice on propagation, general care, hybridization and the prevention of pests and diseases. Written in a non-technical style, this book disputes the idea that African Violets are difficult to grow.

Reviews
This informative book, with eight pages of color photographs and 28 line drawings, begins with a brief history of this popular houseplant and continues with a chapter explaining the three main types of African violets, their sizes, and the shapes of their flowers and leaves. There's a list describing 167 hybrids and instructions on their cultivation (light, temperature, compost, watering, humidity, and feeding); propagation; rejuvenation; hybridization; and pests, diseases, and disorders. There's also advice on exchanging hybrids with other growers and on exhibiting plants. George Cohen
