    Please someone help me.
    I putchased a streptocarpus last winder. It has been growing and blooming just great.
    My problem is that when new leaves get to be about 5 inches in length the leaf begins to curl along the side of the leaf. It never curls from the tip toward the center of the plant.
    What can I do to prevent this?
    Thank you,
    geri

    Geri -

    hard to say what it is without a pic, but my guess you water it too much. You need to wait until the pot is dry and leaves are almost ready to droop and then water it, splash extra water out of the saucer 15 min. later. Streps like lighter soil and less water than AVs.
