Primrose
Description
Streptocarpus dunnii is a unique and fascinating member of the African violet family. It is native to South Africa and is characterized by its single, large, strap-like leaf that grows from the base. The leaf can be up to a foot long, with a textured surface. This plant produces multiple funnel-shaped flowers on a stalk, and the blooms are a vibrant orange color with yellow stripes. It thrives in bright, indirect light and well-draining soil. Avoid overwatering and allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Propagation can be done using leaf cuttings or seeds. This plant makes a statement piece and can be grown indoors or in a greenhouse.
