Donna-pull your strobilanthus out and see if it was plugged in coir. I had
plugs from mandevilla like that and the roots refused to move out into the
soil until I yanked them all out of their pot and pulled the coir off. Then
they were able to start growing. The coir stays too wet for me at least. So
far they're growing and now blooming.
