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!
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.
