| The ideal gift for Streptocarpus fans! |
| Have a look through our main selection of Streptocarpus plants - we believe it's the best selection of named varieties in the world. Find all the latest varieties, the 'Crystal' all year flowering varieties, and some of the classic varieties from our National Collection of Streptocarpus. |
| We have extensively increased the range of Saintpaulias. The range includes bi-coloured, variegated, trailing, doubles & miniatures. None of these varieties are readily available from any other source in this country. |
| They are frequently called the Hot Water Plant, although warm water is not necessary to get the rhizomes to sprout. They come originally from Central and South America. Rhizomes are normally available from Feb-April and then plug plants from May onwards. |
| All the Gesneriads we grow are easy to look after and require similar conditions to Streptocarpus. Most are sent as young plants, some as rhizomes (marked as rhizomes in the description). Plant the rhizomes about 2cm (1 inch) below the surface of the compost, keep the compost moist and warm. The rhizomes produce shoots very quickly (2-4 weeks). |
| The named varieties make excellent plants and are far better than seedling varieties, they are not so prone to go to flower and have better foliage colours. |
| We offer a range of beautiful species and hybrids grown for their attractive foliage (and not the tuberous varieties grown solely for their large flowers). Many have showy flowers as well as attractive foliage. |
| Order Rex Dibley's Streptocarpus book, streptocarpus food tablets, Dibleys streptocarpus seed, gift vouchers, propagators, watering cans and other sundries. Sundries all include post and packing. |
| Value for money collections of named plants. Streptocarpus plants, Saintpaulias, Columneas, Mixed Gesneriads and Mixed Begonia collections are available. The price of all these collections include post and packing. |
