1 Gloxinia (Purple - White) - Plant
2 6 inch (15 cm) Grower Round Plastic Pot (Black)

Did you know that gloxinia can be grown as house plants? True! Gloxinia are fabulous gift plants AND can be spectacular house plants if you give them proper care.A few years ago, a gloxinia flowering houseplant (Sinningia speciosa) was considered a perennial.

The plants would bloom and then die back. After a period of dormancy, the plant would regrow, delighting its owner with a fresh flush of big, velvety flowe Today, s gloxinias are hybrids that are bred to quickly produce a large number of blossoms. These gloxinias produce an outstanding display for about two months, but once the flowers fade, the plant rarely comes back because it invests all its energy into flowers rather than sturdy roots. Therefore, these plants are best grown as annuals, and since they are discarded after the bloom cycle, gloxinia flower care focuses on keeping the plant looking fresh while it is in bloom.

Planting and care

  • When growing gloxinia houseplants as annuals, they don, t need repotting.
  • If you pot up the plant in a decorative container or need to replace some of the soil because of accidental spillage, use an African violet potting soil.
  • Gloxinia prefer higher humidity than African violets or Streptocarpus, and many growers find that they must supplement the humidity in their grow rooms with pebble trays or a humidifier in order to grow Gloxinia successfully year-round.
  • Gloxinia flower care is not too difficult. Place gloxinias in a bright area, out of direct sunlight.
  • A location near a sunny window just outside the reach of the sun, s rays is ideal.
  • Growing gloxinia houseplants thrive in average room temperatures of between 60-75 F. (16-24 C.).
  • Water gloxinias often enough to keep the soil moist. The leaves develop brown spots if they get wet, so apply the water directly to the soil under the leaves.
  • If allowed to dry out, gloxinias go dormant.
