Gloxinia (Sinningia) Corina - flower bulbs and perennial plants from Holland

Guide and tips for planting gloxinia bulbs

• Choose the planting location: Gloxinia bulbs prefer well-drained soil and partial shade. If planting indoors, choose a bright, indirect light location.

• Prepare the soil: If planting outdoors, amend the soil with compost or organic matter to improve fertility and drainage. If planting indoors, use a well-draining potting mix.

• Plant the bulbs: Dig a hole that is about 2-4 cm deep and place the gloxinia bulb with the pointed end facing up. If planting indoors, use a container that is at least 8 cm deep and wide enough to accommodate the bulb.

• Cover the bulbs: Cover the gloxinia bulbs with soil and gently press down to remove air pockets. Make sure the soil level is even with the surrounding soil.

• Water the bulbs: Give the bulbs a thorough watering after planting to settle the soil around them. Gloxinia bulbs prefer consistently moist soil, so water them regularly, but avoid over-watering as this can cause rot.

• Provide additional care: If planting indoors, place the container in a bright, indirect light location and maintain a temperature between 15-20°C. If planting outdoors, protect the bulbs from direct sunlight and wind.

• Fertilize the plants: Gloxinia bulbs require regular fertilization throughout the growing season. Apply a balanced fertilizer every 2-3 weeks or use slow-release fertilizer at the time of planting.

• Monitor the bulbs: Gloxinia bulbs typically take about 4-6 weeks to sprout, so be patient. Once they sprout, water and fertilize regularly to encourage healthy growth. Gloxinia plants can bloom in mid to late summer and may require occasional deadheading to promote continuous blooming.
