Planting & Care Instructions:

1. Seed Preparation & Sowing:

   • Starting Indoors: For the best results, start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost. Sow seeds on the surface of moist, well-draining seed-starting mix and press them lightly into the soil. Do not cover the seeds, as they require light to germinate.
   • Germination: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Place the seed tray in a warm, bright location (but not direct sunlight) with temperatures around 65-75°F (18-24°C). Germination typically occurs within 14-21 days.
   • Direct Sowing Outdoors: After the danger of frost has passed, you can sow the seeds directly outdoors in a location with bright, indirect light or partial shade.

2. Transplanting & Growth:

   • Transplanting: When seedlings have grown large enough to handle and the outdoor temperatures are consistently above freezing, transplant them into your garden or larger containers. Space plants about 6-10 inches apart to allow for their compact growth.
   • Soil: Gloxinia plants prefer well-draining, fertile soil. For best results, enrich your soil with organic matter such as compost to ensure good drainage and fertility.
   • Light: These plants do best in bright, indirect light, although they can tolerate partial shade. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight, as this may scorch their leaves.

3. Maintenance:

   • Watering: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Water the base of the plant, avoiding wetting the foliage, as this can lead to disease. Ensure the soil drains well to prevent root rot.
   • Fertilization: Apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season to encourage robust flowering and healthy growth.
   • Deadheading: Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming. Cutting back spent blooms also keeps the plant looking neat.
   • Pruning: Light pruning after flowering can help maintain the plant’s shape and encourage new growth.

4. Winter Care:

   • Cold Climates: Gloxinia is sensitive to frost, so treat it as an annual in cooler climates. If growing in containers, bring the plant indoors when temperatures begin to drop. Alternatively, you can dig up the tubers in fall and store them in a cool, dry place for the winter.
   • Mild Climates: In USDA Zones 9-11, Gloxinia can be grown as a perennial with proper care. Mulch around the base in winter to protect the roots.
