Calceolaria herbeohybrida--Pocketbook Plant
Type: house plant
Comments: Pocketbook Plant is an annual that is forced
into bloom, sold, then discarded once the blossoms have
faded. Grow them in partial shade as the flowers burn in
full sun. Keep the soil moist but not wet. They like
cool temperatures, preferably 60 to 65 degrees. If
planted too deep, or over-watered, expect problems with
stem rot. Good air circulation will help control
diseases.
Propagation: Propagation is by seed.
