| Key Tips for Success: The Luxurious, velvety Gloxinia needs bright light new buds to develop and open. Low light will result in small, pale flowers. Take care not to over water, as this can prevent buds from developing. Avoid splashing water on the leaves which can cause yellow spots. After flowering, Gloxinia will die back and require a period of dormancy. |
