Streptocarpus 'VA Joker'

Streptocarpus ‘VA Joker’ is a exquisite cape primrose that makes an excellent low light houseplant. Elegant, plum-purple flowers with white specks and ruffled edges rise above textured, arching green leaves. This amazing plant graces your house with a long-lasting explosion of color, practically blooming all year if grown in good conditions. An indoor temperature of 67-75°F is ideal. Temperatures too much above 80°F tend to cause leafburn as well as reduce the blooming power and longevity of the plant. Primroses can be grown in low light conditions, although an east or west-facing window is best. They prefer high humidity and a consistently moist, but not waterlogged soil.
