- Compact rosette, ideal for small spaces
- Easy-care houseplant, drought tolerant
Resilient and easy to look after, Streptocarpus 'Pretty Turtle' is a charming little house plant! The fabulous foliage has a curious turtle shell pattern, creating a tessellated design of silvery veining against deep green. The leaves of this handsome plant are fleshy and rounded, arranged in neat rosettes that make this a great choice for small spaces and narrow shelves. This Cape Primrose originates from the rocky landscapes of Africa and Madagascar, so it’s a tough plant that’s easy to care for. Height and spread: 25cm (10”).March to September: Place your Streptocarpus in a bright spot but not in prolonged direct sunlight – an east or west-facing windowsill is perfect. Water regularly as the compost begins to dry out but avoid letting the plant sit in water. Feed fortnightly with a proprietary houseplant feed. As the plant grows, repot as necessary in spring into a slightly larger pot. October to February: Move to a south facing windowsill if possible. Only water when the compost dries out and don’t feed. Remove any dead leaves and debris to minimise the chance of pests and diseases. Please note: Some houseplants are toxic or harmful to pets if ingested. If you believe your pet has consumed a poisonous plant then seek veterinary attention immediately. Take a sample of the plant with you.
