*Restocked!*
Chrysothemis pulchella is a beautiful, tuberous gesneriad species with dark, lush foliage and bright yellow flowers on red bracts. The foliage is of a color that is hard to capture on camera. The best attempt at description I can give is deep purple green with copper tones. Tubers can get large quickly, but tend to prefer living below the soil surface in contrast to Sinningia relatives.
These are seed-grown plants in 3 inch pots, blooming size. These are potted in sphagnum and sponge rock - they will also grow in well drained soil, this is just how I've been keeping them lately. Make sure to let them dry mostly before watering. Larger flowering plants shown are for reference only.
These like frequent watering (but not constant wet) and bright light while in active growth, and they will go leafless dormant in the winter. I personally don't keep them cool during this time but do reduce watering.
