After moving back to China, I got back my hobby of planting african violet. Recently I got hooked on streps as well - but the ones I bought are not doing as well as my african violet. They are given...

I find that they prefer slightly less water, and I have better success when I have a more porous soil. I've lost them when I use AV soil if I'm not really careful about watering. If I use an AV soil,...

Depends on how big you let them go. You can keep trimming leaves and keep them on the smaller side. Or let them get big! I keep mine on the smaller side and remove older leaves to keep them tidy and...

They do like it cooler. Mine did OK all summer and it was routinely 85 in this room. They didn't bloom as much. As soon as it got cooler they starting setting buds. Oh, yes, I do want Pink Feather...

Sparkles, thanks for the reply. So I guess mine might have too much water. I just checked them again, and their pots are much wetter than the african violets in the same tray. I will move them out...

So sorry you lost it :-(. One other thing to think about with streps - don't plant them deep. The roots should just be covered. Some people say to plant them as if on the top of a hill - mounding the...

Hi Pat I don't have either of those but so far, all streps have grown about the same for me. I haven't had any prissy ones! Oh, not completely true - the variegated leaves have been a bit fussier. But...

I think they dislike heat much more than cool. They get very unhappy in heat. AC is a must if daytime temps are above the low 80's F on a regular basis. Next spring, we'll have a trading box go around...
