Description

๐ŸŒธ 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

โ˜€๏ธ Sunlight

๐ŸŒฅ๏ธ Provide 10+ hours of indirect light daily for continuous blooming.
๐ŸŒ… If exposed to direct sun, limit it to 2–3 hours of soft morning light only.

๐Ÿ’ง Watering

๐Ÿ’ง Water when the top of the soil feels dry.
โš ๏ธ Streptocarpus prefer to be on the drier side—avoid overwatering.
๐ŸŒซ๏ธ Mist the leaves occasionally. Use well-draining soil.

๐ŸŒผ Fertilization

๐Ÿงƒ Use a liquid fertilizer (8โ€‘14โ€‘9)
๐Ÿฅ„ Apply a weak solution once a month during the growing season.

๐ŸŒก๏ธ Temperature & Humidity

๐ŸŒก๏ธ Ideal range: 70°–80°F (21°–27°C)
โš ๏ธ Avoid temperatures above 80°F and below 50°F—Streptocarpus prefer stable, mild conditions.
๐Ÿ’ง Humidity: 40%–50% preferred
