'Pip Squeek'

'Pip Squeek' - Micro-mini Violet

If you are a ‘Pip Squeek’, you better be good at something.

 

            We have Mini Violets that are equally as showy as their bigger standard African Violets.  Mini Violets are a very desirable category of houseplant.  They have flower power with all colors of single or double flowers and grow easily at a bright window.

 

            Hobby violet growers like to have mini or semi-miniature hybrids because they take less space so you can have more of them.

 

            There are varieties that are half the size of Mini Violets. They might be called ‘Micro-mini’, but they are seldom seen so it’s hard to know.

 

            I have one who says it all --- ‘Pip Squeek’.  It’s full-size leaves are smaller than a nickel, but it loads up with many pink flowers in a 2” pot.  This is not restricted as a bonsai, but genetically tiny.

 

            As with any rare plants, they are hard to find because there is no supply.

 

            ‘Pip Squeek’ has vigor and pretty flowers.  One of the smallest flowering houseplants will attract attention.
