hi get the little cages from an on line specialist houseplant nursery, they do 12cm pot and holder and 17cm pot and holder but only in uk, maybe you can get them where you are.
I only started my collection this year my friend gave me a catologue she received i was hooked I bought lot of streptacarpus flower houseplants and they all died, must have spent a fortune on them over watered them gave them to much feed and not enough love Sad
i bought some moreaugust when they had a lucky dip end, of the season sale
got them dirt cheap and only water them once a week success Crossing Fingers!
my favorites are still begonias cane and rex janet

Streptocarpus are wonderful, when they're happy. But mine have died too, LOL. They were very happy when I kept them in the basement under lights, nice stable mid 60s temp down there. They set a lot of buds, then I moved them to my bedroom and had flowers for WEEKS.

I love begonias, too.
Plant it and they will come.
