Scientific Name: Streptocarpus
Common Name: Cape Primrose
Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, typically every 1-2 weeks, depending on environmental conditions and the size of the pot.
Fertilize: Feed your potted Streptocarpus with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilization frequency during fall and winter months.
Height: In pots, Streptocarpus plants typically grow to heights ranging from 6 inches to 1.5 feet, depending on the specific variety and growing conditions.
Width: The spread of potted Streptocarpus plants can vary but generally ranges from 6 inches to 1 foot. They tend to form rosettes with leaves radiating outward from the center.
Exposure: Place your potted Streptocarpus in a location with bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, especially during the hottest part of the day, as it can scorch the leaves. A north or east-facing window is often ideal. Additionally, maintain moderate to high humidity levels around the plant, as they originate from tropical regions. You can achieve this by placing a humidity tray nearby or using a room humidifier.
