How to grow Gloxinia vigorously

one. soil:

A lush potted plant cannot do without suitable soil. This plant prefers loose, well-drained soil. If we want to mix it ourselves, we can mix some soil with coarse sand and gravel, and then mix a small amount of decomposed poultry manure into the soil. If you want to buy it, you can buy special flower soil for this plant.

two. temperature:

The right temperature can make its leaves grow better and better and the flowers become large and colorful. So we can control its ambient temperature, maintaining it between 18 and 25 degrees from January to October, and between 10 and 12 degrees in the remaining months.

three. illumination:

It is a semi-sun plant, so you should pay attention to providing it with shade. In winter when it is in the seedling stage, we must provide it with a lot of light. In summer, we can place it in a ventilated room with scattered light. The light at this time cannot be too strong. When it blooms, the shading time can be increased.

Four. Watering:

Be careful not to spill water on the flowers and leaves when watering, otherwise they will rot, so the general method of replenishing water is to immerse them in water. Watering should be done in moderation, otherwise the tubers will rot, the leaves will start to turn yellow and then the whole plant will begin to die. In summer, because the temperature is too high, water loss is faster than before, so we can replenish water once or twice a day.

five. fertilizer:

Before the flowering period arrives, you need to add a thin flower fertilizer once a week to supplement the nutrient needs during the growth period. After the flower buds are formed, add phosphorus fertilizer. Be careful not to get it on the leaves. If it gets stained, wash it in time and wipe dry the water stains.

six. Pests:

This plant may be attacked by insect pests during its development, threatening its survival, so we should take corresponding preventive measures.
