Description

🌸 Streptocarpus (Cape Primrose) Care Guide

Streptocarpus, also known as Cape Primrose, is a vibrant and long-blooming member of the Gesneriad family. We offer plants in full bloom, actively budding, or post-bloom (‘Out of Bloom’)—giving you the choice to enjoy flowers immediately or save by selecting a plant that's taking a short rest.

These plants bloom repeatedly throughout the growing season and may rest briefly during colder months. Known for their resilience, Streptocarpus are among the hardier Gesneriads, making them a favorite for indoor growers.

Care Instructions

☀️ Sunlight

🌥️ Provide 10+ hours of indirect light daily for continuous blooming.
🌅 If exposed to direct sun, limit it to 2–3 hours of soft morning light only.

💧 Watering

💧 Water when the top of the soil feels dry.
⚠️ Streptocarpus prefer to be on the drier side—avoid overwatering.
🌫️ Mist the leaves occasionally. Use well-draining soil.

🌼 Fertilization

🧃 Use a liquid fertilizer (8‑14‑9)
🥄 Apply a weak solution once a month during the growing season.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

🌡️ Ideal range: 70°–80°F (21°–27°C)
⚠️ Avoid temperatures above 80°F and below 50°F—Streptocarpus prefer stable, mild conditions.
💧 Humidity: 40%–50% preferred
