African Violet ‘Pipsqueak’
Saintpaulia hybrid
African Violet ‘Pipsqueak’ is a charming miniature cultivar prized for its compact growth and delicate, velvety blooms. This variety features deep green, slightly scalloped leaves that form a tight rosette, perfect for small terrariums or limited shelf space. The dainty lavender-purple flowers appear in small clusters, providing a soft pop of color that contrasts beautifully with the foliage.
Easy to care for and rewarding to grow, ‘Pipsqueak’ thrives in bright, indirect light with consistently moist (but not soggy) soil. Its petite size makes it ideal for terrarium environments or as a unique accent on a windowsill or plant shelf.
