This has gone through a few makeovers since it was first put together, but I think it has finally grown out of its awkward stage and into a beautiful mixed pot.

Sinningia cardinalis is a caudiciform Gesneriad (Gesneriaceae).

It’s pretty easy to grow and has beautiful round flattened caudexes with these very very red Cardinal Red even, tubular flowers.

We don’t have them available at the nursery right now. We have them growing and they should be leafing out in a couple months time. They should be ready and rooted by then. Even if not yet blooming.

A new blue succulent terrarium is out at the store. I’ve been following some succulent feeds on Instagram and have been inspired to use brighter, more vivid colors in my terrarium designs.

My eyes! Too bright! Tone it down!!!!

And it’s layered below? Wow!
