What You Receive

This listing is for live Streptocarpella plants, not seeds or bulbs. Choose the available 1-plant, 3-plant, or 10-plant option before adding to your cart.

Light and Placement

Outdoors, choose a sheltered position in part shade to shade, avoiding harsh direct sun. Indoors, provide bright, indirect light. Gradually acclimate plants when moving between indoor and outdoor conditions.

Planting and Watering

Use a well-draining potting mix and a container with drainage holes. Water as needed to keep the mix moderately moist without leaving it soggy, and allow excess water to drain away. Check hanging baskets regularly, as they can dry more quickly than larger containers.

Flowering and Seasonal Care

Enjoy flowering through the warm growing season under suitable conditions. Remove damaged foliage as needed and feed with a fertilizer suitable for flowering container plants, following its label instructions.

Outdoor hardiness: USDA zones 9a–11b. In colder climates, grow as a seasonal container plant or bring indoors before frost. Protect plants from freezing temperatures.
