South Africa: Widely cultivated as a house plant. Previously considered to be included with A. densiflorus in the species A. sprengeri. Since the latter was recognized to be potentially invasive, a distinction has been determined between A. aethopicus, which is potentially invasive, and A. densiflorus, which is not and is therefore more suitable for cultivation.
