How many times a year does Gloxinia bloom?

1. How many times does it bloom?

Gloxinia only blooms once a year, and its approximate flowering period is around March to August. The peak flowering period is in summer, when it is more ornamental. However, the current breeding technology is relatively mature, and the cultivation environment is also very suitable, so if it is well maintained, it is very likely to bloom again.

2. How to maintain more flowers

1. Light: It likes a warmer growing environment. Only when it receives as much light as possible under normal circumstances will it produce more flowers. But if there is an extreme lack of light, it will easily bloom poorly. In summer, you must stay in the shade because you may get sunburned.

2. Watering: A certain level of soil humidity is most beneficial to its growth, especially its root system, which must be able to receive sufficient water. However, you must be careful not to water its buds and flowers during the flowering period.

3. Fertilization: Adequate nutrients are the prerequisite for flowering. During its growing period and when it is about to bloom, some nutrients should be applied to it. It is enough to fertilize it about once a week, and when the flower buds of Gloxinia are forming, phosphorus fertilizer should be applied.
