Overview

Often starting to flower a little earlier in the year than many of the other streptocarpus, once it starts, this showy houseplant will usually continue to produce its pink and white flowers non-stop until late autumn. Putting on a great display with the minimum amount of fuss, it makes a wonderful addition to bright windowsill with indirect light. Home care: Throughout the growing season, keep them quite well watered, but as they are sensitive to overwatering, allow the compost to get a little dry in between; during this time they should also be fed with a high potash fertiliser. Remove spent flowers as they fade and trim back any old leaves that are past their best. Overwinter on a south or west-facing windowsill and water less often. Repot each spring into a slightly larger, shallow pot filled with fibre-based compost. They can also be used as summer bedding - grow in fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil in partial shade.
