Gloxinia's water requirements

1. Watering frequency

Although Gloxinia requires a moist environment, it is not a particularly water-loving plant and does not have high requirements for water. Generally, it is a safer method to wait until the soil in the pot is completely dry before watering. There is no fixed frequency of watering. You don't have to water it every few days. Normally you can water it every three to five days. The temperature is high in summer and evaporation is very strong. You can water the plants once or twice a day, in the morning and evening respectively. The temperature is relatively low in winter, and the demand for water is significantly reduced. Give appropriate amount of water to keep the soil in the pot dry.

2. Moderate water volume

Each time you water, give the plant an appropriate amount of water to ensure it is watered thoroughly. If you only water the plant halfway for a long time, it will affect its growth, hinder its later development, and cause the leaves of the plant to turn yellow. It is also not advisable to water too much, as the roots cannot absorb all the water, which will cause the tubers to rot.

3. Watering method

Water slowly to ensure even watering. When the air is dry, in addition to watering the flowerpots, you also need to spray water to alleviate the dry climate and increase the air humidity.

4. Maintain water temperature

When watering, you also need to pay attention to the water temperature. The water temperature should be equivalent to the room temperature, especially in winter, you must not use cold water.
