Thats a little gem, is it the first year you've had it?

Yes - received the tubers back in April, along with some for another Gesneriad - Smithiantha "Little One".

Great photo! I really like these plants. They do so well here in shade and bloom most of the year. It should bloom all year for you, indoors.

I'm rather smitten too. It's producing new tubers already too.

I always read they die down to the ground in all climates during the winter; however, it doesn't here.
I love the very soft velvety leaves.

I'm unsure as to whether to give it a winter rest or to allow it to keep growing for a year...........

Maybe the plant will let you know. Possibly due to the limited sunshine there in winter, it may go dormant...I'm just guessing.

I think that may be the case Delonix..............
Thanks Kasy!
