  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.
