Moms Plant


This is a plant that we named for (Rob's) mom.  A plant that she rescued, never repotted, rarely watered or fed, knocked to the floor numerous times by the cats, and bloomed nearly continuously for over a year in a dimly lit north window.  We had to keep it and name it.  It has lovely light blue blooms shaded darker purple.

One tough cookie

I received this plant as a free gift on my last order. It was huge, in bloom and it was beautiful.

Somebody moved the plant to an unused room, got forgotten about and died. I remembered the story of what a tough plant it is, so I kept it watered instead of throwing it out. A week later, green leaves started to poke out and now they are really making their move, they are about an inch long.

Love this plant!

One of My Favorites

Mom's Plant is truly amazing. Most of my streps grow under lights, she grows in an crowded east window. If you are looking for a fairly compact growing strep that loves to bloom with long lasting flowers you really want to try this one.

A Hardy Little Plant

I purchased this cutie a couple of years ago. It did well until it got a leaf disease and almost died. One little piece of green leaf grew back and the plant recovererd and bloomed a few months later. I do not mist them in the evening any more. This plant has stayed small and manageable which I like. Would recommend.

Loaded with blooms!

I bought this pretty little girl about three months ago. Potted her up, and she seemed to settle in faster than the miniature violets that I potted at the same time. I didn't notice how much it had grown until -- suddenly -- two 6-to-8" stalks full of gorgeous blooms have shot up, and several more are in diferent stages of unfurling. Good! That means that it will be in bloom for a long, long time! The color is more lavendar/blue-violet than shown here (mine isn't at all pink) with velvety red-violet throats on the bottom petals. Love her!

Amazing

This plant by far has been my favorite streptocarpus to grow. It really is indestructible. I ordered this plant as a gift and forgot to take it out of the water bucket where I was watering it over the weekend while on vacation. It sat for 72 hours in large bowl filled with water and it was sitting out of the lights. I for sure thought I killed it off. When I came home the plant had grown significantly and had pushed out multiple bloom stalks in just 3 days. I was floored with the resiliency of this plant even after drowning it!! If there were more stars I would give it for this one! The flowers, foliage, annd growth pattern are amazing and I don’t have enough good things to say about this strep. Thank you Violet Barn!
