Blue Ice Streptocarpus Plant – 4 Inch Pot – Collector’s Streptocarpus Series

Discover the Beauty of Blue Ice Streptocarpus

The Blue Ice Streptocarpus, a captivating addition to the Collector’s Series, is a delightful plant that brings a touch of elegance to any indoor space. Its unique blooms and easy-care nature make it a favorite among plant enthusiasts. This plant thrives in similar conditions to African Violets, preferring bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves and diminish the vibrant flower color. The Blue Ice Streptocarpus is a stunning indoor plant, perfect for adding a splash of color to your home or office.

Maintaining the ideal growing environment is key to the health and beauty of your Streptocarpus. Day and night temperatures between 60-75°F are ideal year-round. Water the plant only when the top inch of the potting mix feels dry to the touch. To prevent spots on the leaves, use tepid water or water from the bottom of the pot. Overwatering is a common issue that can lead to root rot, so it’s crucial to allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. During winter, reduce watering frequency as the plant’s growth slows down. The Blue Ice Streptocarpus requires less water during the dormant season.

Fertilizing your Streptocarpus properly is essential for promoting healthy growth and abundant blooms. From spring through fall, apply a water-soluble fertilizer high in phosphorus (such as 15-30-15) every three weeks. This will provide the necessary nutrients for vibrant flower production. Withhold fertilizer during the winter months when the plant is resting. Regular pruning, such as trimming off faded flower stalks, encourages continuous blooming and maintains the plant’s tidy appearance. Repotting should be done in the spring into a slightly larger pot to accommodate the plant’s growth. This stunning Streptocarpus plant will impress any plant lover.

This plant is best suited for zones 10-11 and thrives on patios or indoors. It prefers partial shade. Regular pruning of faded flowers will encourage continuous blooms, ensuring a vibrant display throughout the growing season. The Blue Ice Streptocarpus is part of the Collector’s Series and is shipped immediately in a 4″ pot, ready to enhance your living space. This allows for a simple and easy transition into your home.
