First bloom - can't take my eyes off it!
I ordered this Streptocarpus because I have a soft spot for flowers with nearly-black blooms. I transplanted the little plant I received to a decent-sized pot, watered thoroughly once a week and made sure it had plenty of bright, indirect light. This little plant did not disappoint! I noticed the future flower stalks late last week and today, the first bloom opened. Absolutely gorgeous, almost velvety black, its color is so rich! If you love the dark blooms - make room in your collection for this beauty!
Ever Blooming
This adorable plant is an easy grower and is never out of bloom at my place. Even in the deep winter Xolo was putting on a show. Highly recommended.
Xolo the conquerer
Xolo is a vigorous, free flowering, and hardy plant that has well earned a spot in my collection. It survived a fire in my home last year, and the following neglect and moves, when a lot of other plants didn't make it... it is blooming now with new buds, many new buds, coming up. The first flower is huge and has lasted 2 weeks now with no signs of stopping! Just a wonderful, hardy, beautiful plant with a tough generous heart!
A+++
This guy nearly died when our greenhouse heater went berserck and heated everything up to 140F! Just one little piece of a leaf still attached. We repotted it, and two months later it's a brand new plant and growing like mad. Beautiful very large velvety blooms!
Stunning and constant bloomer
I ordered this back in July. It flowered within a couple of weeks and hasn't stopped since (it's mid-December now). The blooms are a stunning velvety deepest darkest purple. Though it's a compact grower, the blooms are large relative to the plant's size. It's also quite hardy as it took my newbie growing set-up in stride and was very helpful in figuring out the correct lighting, temp, and watering that streps prefer. This little plant is a survivor!
