Monster Strep

It sounds like one of those that thrive with trimming back,

I think so GG. It has a bush habit and in no frost zones can be a corner bush in the garden, a little different than the streptocarpus. I have been letting it just grow, time to just trim and shape. Like taking a kid to school first day, so worried....lol.

Are you taking cuttings GT? It looks a lovely plant.

A bunch, I've a wad of cuttings, prob four more plants. I've got you in mind GIlli, after holidays I'll trust timely mail...lol.

I wasn't hinting GT. Really I wasn't. Well, maybe a little bit. LOL.

lol...I will make more and overrun myself. I'm glad to share, and your close, better survival rate.

Very lush and healthy looking plant. Does it get Sun or artificial light or both?

Artificial in a low light setting and east window. It has really enjoyed it, but the window was overrun. East is the favorite position in the house and on the porch for any plant I've tried there for this property. Its been reaping the benefits...lol.

G.T.

The low light setting is perfect for this plant because it's an understory plant.

You have some really nice house plants. It's amazing they do so well indoors. I can only keep certain plants indoors...they get too many insect infestations...spider mites, mealy bugs, scale, yellow aphids, these are just a few of the bugs.

Thanks Delonix. :-)

I give the bugs a sweet one every year. Basil has kept them out of everything else. I get an onset once the outdoors freezes, always the sweetest plant. Basil I can let go and start anew, so I let them have it, and then I take them out and freeze them.....lol. Aphid and spider are my most common. They leave most of my others alone.
