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