Regular price $75.00 Sale

Origins: Unregistered hybrid from RFI

Bloom: Short, compound inflorescence with a pink peduncle and many lepidote green bracts producing purple tubular flowers

Light: Strong indirect and/or filtered light

Water: Spray or dunk once a week, ideally the plant should completely dry off same day.  Soak monthly to rehydrate up to 4 hours as necessary.  The less you water, the curlier the leaves will be (be careful not to dehydrate too much!) Thoroughly dry base to prevent rot


This hybrid, a reverse cross of Curly Slim, originated from RFI.  I have seen other clones out there, perhaps from other sources, that resemble Curly Slim with a slightly wider leaf; the plant I have does not resemble Curly Slim much and tends to look more like streptophylla (makes sense given the seed parent was streptophylla).  The plant and bloom both stay pretty compact, and have wide strappy leaves like Regal Renee or Bea Correale
