It’s simply spectacular when in full bloom! Grow in a light soil mix, allow to dry out between waterings, and apply a well-balanced, liquid fertilizer monthly. You’ll be delighted with this year-round bloomer.

Great!

I have has this plant for 6 months now and it has made 4 new leaves and many many adorable flowers. I have it in a white bathroom with a skylight, it receives no direct light but ambient light all day and it seems to love it. Adorable plant.

Fantastic, beautiful, healthy plants

I am very impressed with the quality of the plants I ordered! They are beautiful, well rooted, large starter plants. I assume the size you receive is variable, but these are gorgeous. This particular strep, Purple Panda, is gorgeous as well! Forms a lovely rosette and blooms like crazy.
