Planting & Sowing Instructions:
-
Prepare the Soil: Select a well-drained, fertile location in partial to full sunlight. Gloxinias prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0 to 7.0).
-
Sowing the Seeds: Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date, or directly outdoors when the weather is consistently warm. Place seeds on the surface of the soil, as they need light to germinate. Gently press them down to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.
-
Watering: Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Light misting works well for indoor seeds. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to mold or seed rot.
-
Germination: Gloxinia seeds typically germinate in 14-21 days. Ensure the environment remains warm, around 65-75°F (18-24°C), for best results. Once the seeds have germinated, move them to a sunny location.
-
Transplanting: When the seedlings have 2-3 sets of leaves, they are ready to be transplanted outdoors or into larger containers. Gloxinia flowers do well in pots or directly in garden beds.
-
Care During Growth: Regularly check for pests and remove any damaged leaves to promote healthy growth. Water as needed and provide a balanced fertilizer once a month during the growing season.
