Grow African Violet Relatives
If you can grow African violets
you’ll be equally successful with
some of their attractice relatives,
gloxinias (GLOK SIN’ I AS) foi
example.
Gloxinias aie almost as well
known as the Afucan violets
But have you grown episcias
(E PIS’ I AS), columneas (KO
LUM’ NEE AS) and streptocar
pus (STREP TO KAR’ PUS)?
According to a Pennsylvania
State University Correspondence
course on houseplants, all these
plants are members of the ges
neriad (JES NER’ I AD) family
They have bright colored, tubu
lar flowers and hairy, colorful
foliage.
The cultural needs are similar
They like a porous potting soil of
equal parts garden loam, peat
moss and perlite or coarse sand
Partial sun in winter and shade
in summer suits them Maintain
the temperature at 70 to 75 dur
ing the day and 10 degrees cool
er at night Keep the soil con
stantly moist and the air mod
erately humid. Healthy plants
bloom more or less all year
round.
