African Violet Problems __ "African violets are easily the most popular flowering houseplants in America. Their popularity arises from the fact that they are easy to grow and can bloom for 10 to 12 months of the year. They commonly have disease and pest problems, but most of these can be avoided by following the recommended cultural practices to keep plants healthy as described in HGIC 1550..."

African Violets __ "The African violet (Saintpaulia) is an excellent flowering house plant which will grow and flower under low light intensities found in the average home.
