streps and sinningias side by side?

Hi,

I just talked to Dave this afternoon while I ordered some Sinningias. He told me that streps need a cooler place than sinningias.

I only have one sun room where I keep the plants. Will it be OK to grow them together?

Do any of you keep them in separate room with different temperatures and humidity level?

thank you:o)

Hi Anna,I grow my plants together.Streps do like it cooler.I put mine on the bottom shelfs of the plantstand(near the floor is cooler that the other shelves.I also have a fan to circulate the air.

Jan, itsn't it too dark down there? I have been ckecking my shelves and, if I put my streps at the bottom they will not have enough light (I think).

I have to get a fan. My sunroom is very, very small and i don't have a ceiling fan there.

Spider: Do you have lights on your stands? I know most of these ladies who grow the gesneriads have lighted plant stands. If you don't have a light on the bottom shelf it probably will be too dark for them. Do you have a windowsill you could grow your strep's in? Preferably an Eastern facing window with bright morning light but not direct hot sun.

Plantladylin,

Yes, I have lights but I never use them. I used to have plants in the spare room under lights but when I moved them to the sunroom I stopped using them.

The sunroom is very light but I am going to hang some lights on to the bottom shelf.
Doh...I should have thought about that.

thank you :o)

Missed this thread, too! Good luck, Spider

Thank you Gessiegail.

I haven't got them yet. Maybe next week.:o)
