Features of an African Violet Houseplant

African violets form low, symmetrical rosettes of thick, velvety leaves topped by clusters of central flowers with broad petals. Their compact growth habit allows them to flourish inside small indoor containers on bright windowsills.

Interesting Facts About African Violets

Despite their common name, African violets are not true violets, though they originated in tropical cloud forests of East Africa. Their fuzzy leaf surfaces are covered in microscopic hairs that trap airborne moisture particles and protect delicate tissues from direct water contact.
