How to water Gloxinia so that the flowers will bloom more brightly!

If you want to know how to water Gloxinia, you must first understand its living habits.

Living habits of Gloxinia

Gloxinia likes a moist and warm environment, without strong sunlight. The best soil is fertile, loose, sandy soil rich in humus. It blooms twice a year. The best growth temperature is between 20 and 25 degrees, so proper cold-proof measures should be taken in winter. If the temperature reaches below 5 degrees, it will enter a dormant period. Also pay attention to cooling in summer. If the temperature reaches above 30 degrees, it will also enter a semi-dormant period. During its growth period, it has high requirements for air humidity and must keep the air moist. The air should not be too humid in other stages, otherwise it will cause root rot of African violets. This phenomenon will also occur at high temperatures. In winter, since Gloxinia is in a dormant state, the soil can remain relatively dry.

How to water Gloxinia

The best time to water is before 10 am. When watering, you can observe the soil from time to time, and you can also dig 2 cm deep to check the moisture of the soil. If it is too dry, you need to water it slowly and stop when all the soil is thoroughly watered. If the leaves wilt, you can water them in time, but also water them slowly.
