How to grow Gloxinia in autumn

1. Adjust the temperature

Early fall is one of the best times to grow Gloxinia. At this time, its various physiological activities are relatively strong and it can grow rapidly. Therefore, the temperature needs to be adjusted to maintain it within 18-23℃, which is most suitable for its growth. In late autumn, around November, the temperature will gradually drop and it will gradually prepare to enter dormancy. At this time, just keep the temperature between 10-12℃.

2. Proper shading

It prefers partial shade and cannot live in a place with strong light for a long time. Especially when it is flowering, excessive light will directly lead to adverse phenomena such as shortened flowering period and falling flower buds. Therefore, when the light is strong in early autumn, appropriate shading is needed to prolong its flowering time.

3. Reasonable watering

It also has relatively high requirements for water. It cannot have too much water, otherwise it may cause root rot; it cannot have too little water, otherwise it will not meet its growth needs. You also need to pay attention to the water temperature. It should not be too hot or too cold. It is best to keep it similar to room temperature. So when watering it, it is best to collect the water one day in advance and let it sit indoors for a day. When watering, pay attention to controlling the amount of water. Just wet the soil and do not let water accumulate in the soil.
