Deep Blue Vein Streptocarpus Plant – 4 Inch Pot – Collector’s Series

Deep Blue Vein Streptocarpus: A Collector’s Gem

The Deep Blue Vein Streptocarpus is a stunning addition to any plant collection. As a relative of African Violets, it shares similar care requirements, making it easy to maintain. This variety boasts unique, deep blue veining on its petals, creating a captivating display of color. It arrives ready to thrive in a 4″ pot, part of our exclusive Collector’s Series.

To keep your Streptocarpus plant happy, provide bright, indirect light, avoiding direct sunlight. Maintain temperatures between 60-75°F. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, using tepid water to prevent leaf spots. Overwatering is a common issue, so err on the side of caution. Reduce watering during the winter months.

Fertilize from spring through fall with a high-phosphorus fertilizer (15-30-15) every three weeks. No fertilizer is needed during winter. Trim faded flowers to encourage continuous blooming. Repot in spring to a slightly larger container.
