| They've just invested the best part of pounds 200,000 on a new unit producing all sorts of streptocarpus, begonias, gesneriads and other tropical-like plants. |
| Jim Ellis, an expert in growing streptocarpus has won prizes for his plants at the country's top gardening shows and has just developed a new hybrid of the flower. |
| Their 2003 catalogue lists more than 100 streptocarpus, around 40 named saintpaulias, a host of other gesneriads, coleus and 60 begonias grown mainly for foliage. |
| Use no water but a soft, dry brush to clean hairy, crinkly or matt leaves, like those of the African violet, streptocarpus and maranta, the prayer plant. |
| Nonetheless, using rich potting composts with fine, dust-sized seeds such as campanula, sedum, streptocarpus, verbascum and mesembryanthemum isn't a good idea. |
| The pedicels of streptocarpus Rexii have also been observed in a fasciated state. |
