How often should I water Gloxinia?

Generally, you can use tap water or rainwater to water Gloxinia. When you maintain it in spring and autumn, you can water it once a week. If you maintain it in summer, it is best to sprinkle some water around it every day. When maintaining it in winter, you should pay attention to watering less. Generally, you can water it once every half a month.

How to water Gloxinia

1. Observe the dryness and wetness of the soil: Usually, you need to check the dryness and wetness of the Gloxinia soil before watering. Generally, its soil drainage capacity is very good, so as long as it is slightly moist, it means that it is not short of water, and no watering is needed at this time.

2. Water according to the temperature: Generally, when watering Gloxinia, you should first look at the temperature around it. The temperature suitable for its growth is about 15 degrees Celsius to 25 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is very high, you need to water it more, which can promote its rapid growth.

Precautions for watering Gloxinia

1. Do not water the plant: Generally, you cannot pour water directly on its branches. If it is winter, it will easily cause the branches and leaves to freeze, so it is generally not recommended to water its branches and leaves.

2. Reduce the amount of watering in winter: When watering Gloxinia in winter, pay attention to the amount of watering. Generally, you only need to water until its soil is completely moist, because it does not lack water in winter. Excessive watering can easily frostbite its roots.

What to do if you overwater Gloxinia

If you accidentally water the gloxinia too much, you should place it in a well-ventilated place in time to help speed up the evaporation of water. If it still cannot resume growth, it is recommended to change it to a new pot.
