What if your houseplant only lasted for five years?

Primulina 'Loki'  - 5 years 


What if your houseplant only lasted for five years?

            My Primulina ‘Loki’ lives at the west kitchen window.  Previous blog stories show that it has been growing there for 4-5 years.

            It gets water and light, never had any fertilizer.  The flower bud count is down to 2, so maybe it’s showing that some fertilizer would help.        

However, it does show that fertilizing houseplants has little to do with success.  Water without drowning and light is what matters.

If you would want to design a flowering houseplant that could live for years and flower occasionally, you would have difficulty.

But, look----we have that plant ---Primulina.

Like an African Violet –but better!
