Gloxinia care instructions
  • Sinningia speciosa (sin-IN-jee-ah spee-see-OH-sah)
  • Water:   Moderately moist soil is preferred. Water thoroughly when just the soil surface is dry to the touch. Do not allow plants to stand in water.

    Light:   Indirect or bright-diffused light is best.

    Temperature:   Prefers 70F-75F degrees during the day and 65F-70F degrees at night.

    Tips:   Available throughout the year but common from March through November.

    Available in shades of red, pink, purple.
    Bloom will last from 2-4 weeks with proper care.
    Take care not to overwater, as this can prevent buds from developing.
    Avoid splashing water on leaves, which can cause yellow spots.
    Aphids can be a problem.
