Sinningia speciosa aka Florist's Gloxinia

If you're looking for a plant that offers a moderate level of challenge, Florist's Gloxinia is a great choice to test your gardening skills.

Florist's Gloxinia should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Florist's Gloxinia loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Florist's Gloxinia prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

Florist's Gloxinia is not known to cause harm to humans or pets.

New growth will sprout from the top of the Florist's Gloxinia as it grows vertically.
