Anxiously Waiting!!!!
This is my first time ordering a strep, it hasn't bloomed as yet. I am anxiously waiting for the 1st bloom. Keeping my fingers crossed. Based on the picture, I am quite sure it will be spectacular.
Great plant!
Xolo is a prolific bloomer and has lovely, robust foliage. Very rewarding to grow.
Can't believe MY success
I was curious to grow the mini violets and then happened to see the streps. I gave them a try and I can't believe how well my Bristol's Xolo is doing. Constantly blooming. Gorgeous.
Missed It...By That Much
Bristol’s Xolo had been pushing up its dark blooms for several weeks and I was anxiously waiting to admire the “nearly black, purple blooms.” Then my A/C broke down and the house temperatures soared to over 100 degrees for several days. Unlike one of the previous reviews of Xolo surviving a fire, my Xolo went into shock and the multitude of blossoms wilted before they could fully present themselves. Even the surviving leaves never had a chance to propagate after I put them down. I will re-order some day to own this fine specimen.
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!
