Streptocarpus Pretty Turtle called sometimes Cape Primrose or False African Violet is a very unique flowering houseplant with leaves resembling turtle shells. The beautiful pattern in green and white, almost silvery made this plant so unusual looking. This native to South Africa plant is a member of the Gesneriaceae family.

The plant can adapt to a variety of lighting conditions but thrives in bright spots and can handle early morning and late afternoon direct light. Make sure the soil stays slightly moist but not soggy to make the plant happy.

This easy-to-care, pet-friendly and air-purifying plant is a perfect choice for the home or workplace. Even beginners will keep it thriving.

  • Authentic Photos of Our Plants: We take every photo you see, showcasing the actual plants we offer. Each plant is selected randomly unless otherwise stated, adding a touch of surprise to your order.
  • Natural Variations Make Each Plant Unique: No two plants are the same. Differences in size, leaf count, and minor cosmetic imperfections are part of their charm and individuality, making your plant truly one of a kind.
  • Healthy Plants, Always: While we can’t guarantee an exact match to the photos, we promise to send only happy, healthy plants that are well-cared for and ready to thrive in your space.
  • Let Your Plant Settle: Allow your new plant to adjust to its surroundings for 1–2 weeks before repotting, propagating, or making any major changes. This settling-in period reduces stress and helps your plant flourish.

  • Expert Guidance on Repotting: I’m unsure if it’s time to repot. Check out our article, When to Repot Your Plant, for expert advice on keeping your plant healthy and happy.
  • Support for Climbing Plants: For Monstera, Philodendron, and Syngonium, add one of our handmade sphagnum moss poles and a watering drip cup. These accessories encourage natural growth, support larger leaves, and keep your plants neat and upright.
