**Scientific Name** Sinningia **Light** This plant loves bright indirect light; it can stand a little morning or evening sun but too much will scorch the leaves! **Water** These plants don't like to be overwatered so if in doubt, wait a few more days to water! They will respond best to bottom-watering as damp petals and leaves can cause disease and mould. When the pot feels slightly light when you pick it up, it's time to water! **Humidity** Average humidity is enough for this tropical plant- just make sure it's not too close to a heater or air con which can dry the plant out too much! **Soil** Use a fertile, well-draining mix; components like coir, bark and sand work well. Look for a mix suitable for Streptocarpus. Repot every two years in spring as the plant grows. **Food** Use a high-potassium feed every two to four waters in the spring and summer, and an ordinary houseplant or streptocarpus fertiliser every month otherwise. **Temperature** Temperature should ideally be between 15-2
