Gloxinia (Sinningia Speciosa Brocade Series) - Sow Gloxinia seeds to produce a beautiful mixture of red, blue, and white blooms. These compact Gloxinia plants blossom four to six months after sowing. They will flower for about 2 months, go dormant for about 2 months, and then begin growing again and start flowering. Gloxinias make a great house plant, giving wonderful, colorful blooms! Sinningia Speciosa is often referred to as Florist's Gloxinia or Brazilian Gloxinia.
Gloxina seeds are a bit tricky to germinate and do best indoors and under lights. Do not cover the flower seeds after sowing since they need light to germinate. Sinningia Speciosa seeds should germinate in about 3 weeks at 70 - 75F degrees. Soil should be kept uniformly moist, but do not keep it saturated. Florist's Gloxinia care includes avoiding watering the crown of the plant as this might cause the plant to rot, and use water that is at room temperature for watering. The Brazilian Gloxinia plant needs lots of light, but no direct light. Gloxinias do best in temperatures around 65 - 75F degrees, especially when they are blooming. After blooming, keep watering to a minimum and don't fertilize.
Common Questions
Do I need to prune my gloxinia?
To encourage a longer bloom season, you will need to deadhead your spent flowers. After the bloom period is over and your plant enters dormancy, prune back any dead or dying foliage.
My leaves are dropping, what do I do?
This can occur from sudden temperature changes such as drafts.
My leaves look scorched, why?
Direct sunlight can burn the leaves of your gloxinia, causing them to scorch and crisp.
My flowers are losing their vibrancy, what do I do?
This is typically caused by inadequate light move your plant to an area with more light but not direct sunlight.
