Ibrabec, I wish I could help you with an id on your sweet strep flower but I don't know. Did you get it from turtlechi? Maybe it's Lucky Strike? On the kohleria bud drop, keep your plant evenly moist and also low humidity can cause buds to drop. My guess it's the lack of enough humidity.

mortswife, so nice to see your blooming plants! They sure brighten the day.

gessiegail...Fancy Pants is neat with both colors on the same plant. I have a baby FP that has buds so we shall see what it decides to be. Marna is a fav of mine and will continue to grow that one. Blue Mars is a great plant too. It takes lots of time and effort to grow all you do so well.

bemedel. Always a joy to see your thriving plants. That Travis Fran's Breanne is so soft and lovely. Kohleria Marquis De Sade is stunning.

jannich...super growing on your pink kohleria loaded with bloom. Between you and turtlechi's kohleria beauties, kinda makes me want to grow them more again.

Susan, you are growing everything just great. You can leave the leaves in the box the way they are covered for a long time. I don't remove the plastic wrap. I check now and then to see if it needs water then reapply the plastic but it loosens from lifting it. That's okay. That one kohleria of yours has such big blossoms and the Seren photo is eye popping.

phoebesviolets...you must be in heaven with all your plants surrounding you. Love the floral grouping photo. Beautiful. What is the strep?

syrumani...good luck with that little nub of a plant. I hope it will grow well for you. It will take patience which I lack at times. Did you say it was planted in a peat pellet?

Thanks for the compliments on the orchid cactus. I adore it and it has gotten even more gorgeous as the flowers enlarge. I will propagate that one for sure.
