- Abstract
The article titled "In Search of New Violets" by Dr. Jeff Smith discusses various methods for hybridizing African violets and addressing specific traits, such as white seedlings and variable white markings. The author suggests increasing the growing temperature and providing a nitrogen boost to encourage the development of functional chloroplasts in white seedlings. The article also explores the inheritance of traits in African violets and provides recommendations for selecting potential trailer plants and reproducing African violet species. The author emphasizes the importance of genetic diversity and cautions against claiming that seedlings are exact clones of the parent plant.
