Sempervivum Crassulaceae Fully hardy; a rosette dies after flowering but its offsets carry on. Serissa Rubiaceae Drops leaves when moved or when temperatures swing – keep it in one place. Sinningia Gesneriaceae After flowering let it die back and overwinter the tuber dry at 12–15 °C. Solanum Solanaceae Water tomatoes evenly – irregular watering causes blossom end rot; the foliage is toxic. Soleirolia Urticaceae Water from below via the saucer – a single drying out makes the cushion collapse. Spathiphyllum Araceae When it droops it is thirsty – it perks up within hours of watering; blooms even in shade. Stapelia Apocynaceae Its starfish flowers smell of carrion to attract flies – best kept on a balcony. Stenocactus Cactaceae Wavy-ribbed and an early bloomer – buds appear at the end of the winter rest. Stevia Asteraceae Frost-tender – overwinter the rootstock at 5–10 °C, kept barely moist. Strelitzia Strelitziaceae Only flowers from 4–5 years old; a cooler, drier winter encourages buds. Streptocarpus Gesneriaceae Blooms best in a small pot, slightly root-bound. Stromanthe Marantaceae Its variegated leaves bleach in direct sun – keep it bright but shaded. Sulcorebutia Cactaceae Its thick taproot wants a deep pot and a purely mineral substrate. Symphyotrichum Asteraceae Plant it in an airy spot and water at the base to avoid mildew; stake tall varieties. Syngonium Araceae With age it starts to climb – pinch it back to keep it bushy.
