About the Cultivar: 'Black Magic' _ 'Black Magic' is a
trailing to scadent, tender, evergreen subshrub with elliptic
fleshy, glossy, dark green leaves, marked brown/purple beneath, and tubular, pouched,
orange flowers with yellow mouths, (candy corn) borne primarily in summer but may occur throughout the year.
Like most Gesneriads, this plant is very easy to care for. I keep mine on an N E / East exposure window. Water weekly and feed very lightely monthly. This is the actual 'Black Magic' and not a mislabeled plant, I got it from the hybridizer. Ive grown this plant for many years and its one of my favorites, Roots easily from stem cuttings.
