Rosettes of large flat leave wonderfully expose the large bell-shaped flowers. The Violacea gloxinia in a pot belongs to the best available plants for decorating homes, orangeries, and winter gardens. You can put plants outside in summer, they constitute a wonderful decoration of a balcony, terrace, or patio. Gloxinia (bearing a scientific name of Sinningia) is an all-purpose pot plant that will revive many rooms with its beauty. Throughout the entire season, gloxinia needs a bright place that is not directly exposed to sunlight. It develops well in warm situations where the air is not too dry.

The attractive gloxinia is easy to grow. Plant its large tubers into pots filled with light, fertile soil over a drainage layer. The tuber should not lie too deep. They should be left with two thirds over the surface, with only the bottom part hidden in the soil. Maintenance of this plant is not complicated. Gloxinia requires regular watering through the saucer, preferably with soft water at room temperature. These plants like humid-air yet cannot stand sprinkling. You can fertilize them weekly during the season. Use special products for pot and flowering plants. These gloxinias enter dormancy stage in autumn. At that time, green parts die, and you should transfer tubers to a room with a temperature around 13?C. You can transplant them in spring into new soil. As soon as the plant starts to grow back, water it abundantly.
