Do you want a bright and unpretentious flower for your home? Streptocarpus for you 🌹
Many growers are looking for undemanding indoor plants with beautiful, vibrant blooms. If you are also in search, then I suggest you pay attention not streptocarpus.
This is the closest relative of the violet, but in appearance it is completely similar to her. See what beauty:
The first thing that draws attention to itself is the relatively large and bright flowers. Breeders engaged in breeding new varieties of streptocarpus have created plants with different colors, shapes, and flower diameters. I am sure that each of you will find something for yourself. Although it will be quite difficult to choose one variety!
I like the fact that streptocarpus flowers are placed on long, almost vertical peduncles. It seems as if tropical butterflies are floating in the air. Therefore, such a plant will definitely play the main roles on the windowsill and delight its owner.
And now it's fair to write the features of streptocarpus care:
- Able to bloom from early autumn to winter! Agree, it's tempting.
- Loves abundant but diffused light. And with direct rays of the sun at the height of summer, streptocarpus is not on the way. It can be removed from the southern window sill to a table near the window.
- To achieve maximum flowering, streptocarpus is transplanted once a year in the spring, and from summer they begin to feed with any mineral fertilizer for flowering.
- It reproduces perfectly by the leaf!
- In general, it is similar in care to the violets familiar to the Russian grower.
