I got my first strep a few months ago, its called Midnight Satin, my question is, (if I can word this right):
It's in a 4" pot, it has 2 very large leaves, 2 just a bit smaller and many new baby ones in the center. It was orginally in a smaller pot when I purchased it. It has not yet bloomed but looks very healthy. Do I just leave it alone, put into a larger pot or clip off the large leaves??? I will try to post a picture in a few mins.

I planted a lot of mine in larger pots and almost lost them, too much extra soil where roots were not growing that stayed too wet and/or too dry. I had to cut them way back and repot, as they lost a lot of roots to rot and drying out. I've got one really really potbound I've been afraid to repot after last desaster, and it's blooming all the time, its Echo. I think you just need patience. tish
Today I got my 2nd and 3rd Streps!!! I got Bristol's Sally Mander and Daisy Doodle! Jim, I think your right, YIKES! Ok now what the heck do I do to get them to bloom?? Fertilizers? Food??? any suggestions would be wonderful
Yes it sounds like I need a little more patience! It's been cold here and I'm ready to get dirty!!!
