| Primulina 'Loki' with unexpected flowering at West window |
Maybe this is
all it will take…
If you buy into my projection that
Asian Violets will be a common houseplant someday, then you have to believe
that what we have is good enough.
A few indoor gardeners are trying Primulina
when they learn that they are easy houseplants. The small, young plants with
decorative foliage survive easily with routine care of light and water.
When told that Primulina will flower
when old enough, there is something to hope for, but not expected any time
soon.
But when buds form and the first
flower opens there will be satisfaction that you accomplished something and it
was worth waiting for. Flowering on your
Asian Violet is something you will tell your friends about. Marketing, at its best!
Word-of-mouth of flowering success may
be all it will take to spread the Primulina wave --- like an African Violet,
but better!
