Packaging: We work with the best seed suppliers from Germany, Spain, Holland and Chile, which allows us to offer you Sinningia (Rechsteineria) leucotricha seeds collected and packaged in 2024, guaranteeing their freshness and a high percentage of germination.
Growing time: Sinningia leucotricha is a relatively slow growing plant, but it rewards with its spectacular foliage and flowers. Seeds usually germinate in 2-4 weeks under optimal conditions. As it grows, this plant develops a short stem with silvery, woolly leaves, which are both attractive and tactile. During the flowering season, the plant produces tubular orange or red flowers, which contrast beautifully with the silvery foliage.
Special Features: Sinningia leucotricha is especially appreciated for its combination of soft, silvery leaves and bright, colorful flowers. This contrast makes it a highly valued ornamental plant, perfect for indoor gardens, botanical collections, or as a centerpiece in decorative pots. Its unique appearance and easy care make it ideal for beginners and experienced collectors alike.
Lighting: This plant prefers bright, indirect light for optimal development. It can tolerate some direct light, but it is recommended to protect it from intense sun to prevent the leaves from burning. A spot near a window with filtered light is ideal.
Watering: Sinningia leucotricha requires moderate watering. It is important to let the substrate dry out slightly between waterings, but avoid letting it dry out completely. During the period of active growth, water regularly, reducing the amount of water in winter when the plant goes dormant.
Pests: Sinningia leucotricha is generally resistant to pests, although it can occasionally be affected by aphids or mites if growing conditions are not ideal. The use of organic products, such as potassium soap, is recommended to keep pests under control.
Cold resistance: This plant is sensitive to cold and should be protected from temperatures below 10°C. In colder climates, it is advisable to grow it indoors to avoid damage.
Substrate: A well-drained substrate is recommended, ideally a succulent or indoor plant mix containing coarse sand or perlite. Good drainage is crucial to prevent waterlogging and keep the plant healthy.
Harvest: Sinningia leucotricha is valued primarily for its unique foliage and bright flowers. It is an excellent choice for those wishing to add an exotic, low-maintenance plant to their indoor gardens or botanical collections.
