Growing Instructions for Streptocarpella saxorum Common Names: False African Violet, Cape Primrose For in-club competition in February, 2012 Sources: Sam Bridges Nursery and http://www.streptocarpus-info.com/strepcultivation.html Plant your plugs in a round, green 6” plastic pot. These plants will produce more flowers if they are root bound. ONLY one plant stem allowed per pot entry, i.e., do not take rooted cuttings and add them to your port for entry in this in-club competition. Light: Bright light but not direct sun. Can be grown in east and west facing windows as well as under fluorescent lights. Some early morning or late evening sun shouldn't harm them, but direct sun during the mid-day can cause burning to the leaves and the flowers. It is important that this plant receive adequate light as too little light leads to plants producing very large leaves and little to no blooms. Temperature: Streptocarpella prefer to be grown in cool conditions. Growing temperatures should remain between 55 and 75 degrees. Feeding: Use a high potash fertilizer. Watering: This plant dislikes being soggy. If the first ½” is dry the plant might need some more water. Do not get water on the leaves or they will get wilt spots. Using warm or room temperature will prevent spotting if water is gotten on leaves.
