  1. Hi Alfredo,
    this is a really nice hybrid but I want to ask you something:
    why does it have such long internodes ?it seems to me that the plants have enough light not to grow so tall.
    I know that hybrids do have differences in internode length and leaf characters, it means that no matter how much light it has, it likes to grow that way ?
    Thanks |

  2. hi madyjo, this one was raised in the old plant house which had limited sun light in the winter. So that it grew tall before I just moved it to the new plant house. I didn't mean to cross a tall cultivar, but I think the internode with certain distance is necessary for a floribunda Kohleria because the blooms can easily show themselves all. This is something about the full plant proportion.
