It would be nice if all plants were bought that way.

Very true.
Buy local, buy cheap?

Sticki - still digging and chucking (loads!). Will be at it for another month at least..............

I agree - local is best if at all possible.

If you get all of it done in a month that will be amazing! Do you know exactly how you want it to be?

Sounds like a great deal...is it?

8 May, 2012

 

It was a seriously great deal Delonix! I've seen ordinary Streptocarpus selling for ten pounds in some garden centres!

Meanie:

So, it was a hell of a deal!

It should do well outdoor in the summer. I know they love to grow in pretty shady condition here. I'm not even sure this plant can grow as a house plant here. It likes too much humidity to do well indoors.

It should go well in the kitchen or bathroom I reckon...........

8 May, 2012

 

Yes, I thinks those would be perfect places for this plant.
