| | Streptocarpus plants |
 | | Streptocarpus, although having a leaf similar to primroses, are not related to them, but belong to the Gesneriad family, which also includes African Violets (Saintpaulias), Columneas and Achimines. |
 | | Streptocarpus fall into two distinct groups: those with stems, the Streptocarpellas, for example Streptocarpus saxorum, and the more commonly known types with a rosette of leaves. |
 | | Streptocarpus are easily grown and usually suffer little from diseases and pests, but one should be on the look-out and take the necessary action at the first sign of any trouble |
