This is great! I just bought one without blooms from a garden center & now I know how to care for it 👍🏻

Beautiful plant. I will always call African violets, African violets, I’m too old to remember new names for plants💚🙃 Thank you!💚🙃
I have been keeping a Streptocarpella saxorum (False African Violet) as a houseplant for about 4 years now. It blooms continuously and is so easy to propagate via water rooting.
I've always questioned the advice of not letting the leaves on African Violets getting wet. I mean, it must rain where they come from so why can't they get wet. Just didn't make sense to me.
As for a Streptocarpus, I recall buying one about 10 years ago. I practised taking leaf cuttings, which worked great. Not sure what I did to them, but they didn't live more than a year or so.
I've been wanting to get some more or start from seed.
Looking forward to your next vid on them.
I just discovered your eBooks about plant myth. I love streps by the way too.
Gotta find these plants! Beautiful!
Robert great information. I have a Lady Slipper Blue Ice - I had over 30 blooms this fall early winter. I water the same way you recommend and I think I need to fertilize more regularly. Belgium Nursery has a great selection right now although they have become very expensive now. I’m going to try propagating them myself so I look forward to your video on propagation.
I tried West window Sun, and the afternoon the leaves and flowers wilt. By the next morning they are very stiff again, but the flowers don't stay as pretty and don't last as long.
WIth a sheer curtain when the Sun's there, no more problem. ( Don't try to fix this by over-watering. )
If they get heat stressed in the Summer, they will make new healthy leaves when temperatures cool down. But growing Streptocarpus is a great excuse to keep a room with air conditioning.
Whats your thoughts on a wider but shallower pot for them? That way the soil dries out faster?
Do you know anything about hybridizating them?
I have a purple and white one. I'd like to find some seeds 😊
what soil do you use?
My Strep was once healthy and flowering abundantly and now diminished to near dead since repotting a year ago, it's been struggling ever since. I am trying everything, though I didn't fertilize like you said, I was told I was over fertilizing by a garden center! Ahh How to bring it back from near death? I've taken it out of the soil to dry out, and will give more gravel and vermiculite - any other suggestions?
Can you dip the root base in root grow hormone to activate more growth?
Stems are fragile...yours are hardy?
Is this a houseplant or an outdoor perennial you have planted in Guelph there?
I was wondering this too. Mr. Google pants says they are house plants. We would treat them similar to African violets which we keep inside as house plants all year in zone 5. I love that deep purple with the white edges one.
Houseplant
Several of my streps have no roots! When I picked them out found little cardboard pots & no roots! What to do?
Place them on soil, and put in a plastic bag to keep humidity up. They should root soon. Or take leaf cuttings.
Beautiful flower! Can they be planted outdoors, too? Just wondering. I have a decent sized spot where a river burch tree had been. The roots from that tree were swallow and long disrupting my walkway, which needed to be repaired. Instead of doing a root project, I forget the exact name of that process which would have cost over $1000, I decided to have the tree removed along with a knockout rose bush that had been planted 12 years earlier and was dying off. Bottom line I have a nice small area that might look good if transformed into a flower garden.
I am sure they can be planted outside, provided they get the right moisture and light.
Where can I find one?
Many greenhouses have them
Belgium Nursery on hyway 7 has them right now.
