Boy do I wish I had a problem with overgrown Streps. I KNOW I don't have optimum conditions for growing anything but .... mine just turn brown, curl up and eventually I cut off the leaves and hope some new ones will grow. One of the few remaining plants does have two seed pods. How and when do I harvest these? I would assume that I wait for them to dry? Some plants have exploding pods (Impatients I believe) and hopefully Streps don't. Wonder if these sad little plants would survive outside? California winter ... now about 45 night time temp. Thanks for any advice. Sydney Sydney Doll Cayucos - Central California Coast SYDNROB@webtv. net
