Torch Song

[Cindy]

I'm adding Torch Song to my list of good houseplants!  I have a big and a little one, and I knew the big one bloomed well, but now the little one in a 4" pot is blooming.  This was its first flower, and a second bud is about to open.



Rockets Red Glare is Torch Song's podmate, so I'm going to try it next. Have any of you tried it in the house?

Hi Cindy,

I have a RRG, and it is great, lost of buds on a small plant.  I am going to prune mine because two branches is not enough! Overall it is really great.

I'd better get one too then, Chris!  We have a pretty small house, so anything that can bloom staying small is a big plus for me.

I really like RRG, I cut mine back and its taking a while to branch, but it has pretty compact growth for me, in the mystery cv column theres a pic of mine blooming and its only 6 inches tall!

I agree with Chris Cindy I have my RRG in a 6" pot and it is doing well.  I am thinking about putting this cv in my Lechuza pot because of how well its been doing in a small pot.


I will let you know what happens if I do  Blue ballerina is doing so good with these self watering pots.

Ok, I have to get Rocket's Red Glare and a Lechuza pot both! 

I finally have to break down and pot up 2 of my plants that have been in 4" pots for 3 years now - Erin Rachel and Blue President. They're just sitting there, green, but not growing or flowering. I think 2 years in those baby pots is fine, but the 3rd year is too much.
