| Streptocarpus 'Myfanwy' |
Story # 124, Part V,
Many
Streptocarpus with pretty flowers have long or wide leaves that break with
handling. Commercial crops are often
sleeved for shipment and sometimes sold that way. If the plant has long non-flexible leaves,
they crack and break, leaving a mess.
I
don’t know of any Streptocarpus with flexible leaves but we have varieties with
short leaves. We could have wide leaves
if they were short.
Some
of you are cringing. Short and fat
leaves with flowers coming out of the center sounds like we are trying to make
it look like an African Violet.
Trust
me, Streptocarpus flowers on a compact plant will not be confused with a
violet.
