Gloxinia encompass plants that are prized for their velvety, trumpet-shaped flowers and soft, rosette-forming foliage. In terms of basic care needs, gloxinia demand bright, indirect light and consistent moisture, with well-draining soil that is slightly acidic to neutral. Keep them in a humid environment with temperatures ranging from 60-75°F (15-24°C). Common challenges include aphid and mealybug infestations, root rot, and leaf spot. Seasonally, gloxinia enter dormancy in the fall and winter and should be watered sparingly. With spring’s arrival, increase watering to spur new growth, and in summer, ensure protection from intense light and high temperatures.
