Information Resources

There are many sources of information on the internet.

There are also the various societies, including the African Violet Association of Australia, membership of which makes it possible to access the personal experience of many other members.

Specialist nurseries which deal in these plants are other likely places to find the answers to your queries and, of course to purchase wonderful plants.

Membership of local Australian Facebook groups like African Violets Down Under can also put growers in touch with others interested in the same plants, and point the way to further information.

If you wish you can query the Association directly with your questions on the Contact link above.
