Hi--glad to see you here and WELCOME!!!! Jules is very handsome!!
Welcome invermontdirt! This is a great forum, such nice folks ... you will love it here! Jump right in and chat and post your photo's! We love pictures!
Oooh, Jules is very pretty, or as Hillbilly_Gran said, Handsome! Oh how I wish I could keep a Strep alive!
Thanks a bunch, My favorites are streps, and hop to do some hybridizing in the next month. Waiting on 50 new streps I have just ordered, to say I am diving in is........well an understatement. LOL
Oh my goodness ... 50 new streps? Something tells me you are going to fit right in here! ^_^ There are a couple of other folks here who do the hybridizing thing too!

And, one Streptowannabe here too ... ME, who can't seem to keep even one alive for more than a week! But, maybe that's a good thing? LOL, I have too many plants to take care of as it is. I still drool over everyone's beautiful photo's!
We are definately going to have some fun, I plan on helping others obtain what they may need also,
Steve
So steve how many do you grow,
JIM
75 Jim so far, I hear you have that beat by a long shot, by the way I love North Dakota, and have several times thought about moving to the garrison area.
i could use a closer swap buddy so come on and move here,I do have that beat but you have to start somewhere
maybe I could help you catch up,;0)
Yes....................there are a lot of strep addicts here............welcome aboard............
I love streps but their leaves are soooo big and that takes room. Their flowers are just amazing. I had three and killed them most quickly. Too dry a building I think.
Welcome Steve ^_^.
Lynn
lighten your mix and try wicking,
and welcome
JIM
one more week left here :)
Welcome Steve!
I have some streps that grow great and others I have trouble keeping them alive. Can't hardly get one to grow from a leaf either, but I keep trying different ways...maybe one day! The one that grows the best for me is Echo..ironically, its one of the few I grew from a leaf!
tish
I haven't grown one to blooming yet... but I have not given up!
I have not grown a Strep. in 20 years,but I am going to be starting in spring.I hope I can do it.
Lynn
Lynn, I will walk you step by step and even send you some leaves. You will be thrilled when you see the babies................let me know when your zone isn't freezing. The last time I tried to send Goldleaf some episcias in December, I fried them because it is not cold here.
***edited to say I put the heat pack loose ........it was hot here. That is how they got fried.

Lynn! I grow streps because they are so much easier than AV's! They will tolerate more temperature swings, more direct sunlight, & more overwatering. Actually, the only way to kill them is to let them stand in water.
So if I can do it, you can! Besides if Gail is helping, you cant fail!
Hey Jim! Have you seen any of the Mari Gras yet?
Thanks a lot Gail! I will.So far I have some Episcias,AVs,and Sinns ordered and other members are sending me starts when it warms up of other plants.I might as well dive in head first and try everything..LOL.Kivit,thanks for the encouragement! I may need a lot of help at first,but if I do I know there are some experts here ^_^.
