Beautiful color and strong plant
I am in love with this Steptocarpus. It is a strong plant and an easy grower. The blooms are large and beautiful. I bought this plant a year ago and it started blooming last fall. I kind off neglected to water it once and it got very dry and limpy. It didn't recover even after a good watering and I thought I was loosing the plant. I trimmed some leaves and buds and gave it a good liquid feed. It recovered slowly but to my surprise it has become stronger and has beautiful dark green leaves now. The plant is quite flat and the bloom stalks are talk. Harlequin lace is an apt name for this plant as the flowers speaks of its trueness to color and pattern.
Great Plant
I've had the first flush of blooms 3 months after ordering, definitely worth it. The upper color is nearly blue, very nice.
Serious Flower Power
Each flower stem often has 4 to 6 blooms each. My two year old plant has 40 flowers on it! It is never without blooms when grown under lights. This is a larger variety--mine eventually needed a 6 inch pot. One thing to note is the amount of gold netting varies; I get more gold and larger flowers when the plant matures and gets plenty of fertilizer.
Amazing bloom
Amzing I'm in love
It loves you back
This plant brings a big smile to my face every time I look at it. I have had mine for 14 months now, and once it acclimatized itself it simply took off. Moreover, when I accidentally up-potted it from a 3 inch to a 5 inch pot (rather than a 4 inch pot) instead of showing signs of distress it merrily grew more leaves followed by bloom stalks and flowers. It has been consistently blooming in waves since mid-July. I love this plant! The leaves grow as if they want to reach out and give you a hug, and the flowers are like getting a little kiss on the cheek.
