by.

Growth features of gloxinia:

• the period of active vegetation from spring to autumn, when the plant
requires fertilizing and timely watering;

• a dormant period in winter, keeping cool.

After violent bloom gloxinia leaves wither is
natural process. The plant is preparing for the rest period, without it
hope for flowering next year makes no sense. How will the period
rest, depends on the gardener.

Wait for the leaves to wilt naturally, stop watering and
top dressing. Dry leaves are removed, shoots are cut at a level of 1-2 cm
from the soil. Next, gloxinia is placed in storage. There are two
wintering methods, each of which gives good results:

• storing the tuber in the ground;

• wintering without a pot.

Problems in growing gloxinia

The fact that the plant is weakened, says its appearance and
lack of flowering. We will try to describe all possible problems and
solutions:

• The flower does not grow; it sits on the ground – poor soil or low
temperature. AT бедной и старой почве глоксиния плохо развивается.
This happens at low temperatures during the period of active growth.
Пересадите глоксинию и повысьте температуру в the room.

• Leaves curl, tips dry – air too dry
indoors. Поставьте растение в поддон с wet pebbles.

• The plant has completely faded, but the time has not yet come – too
wet or dry ground. If not enough moisture, then pour
flower. Rotten tuber is cleaned to healthy tissue, disinfected and
planted in new soil.

• Butonov a lot, but they do not reveal for a long time – a draft.
Move the pot to a comfortable place.

• Yellow spots on the leaves – sunburn, pritenite
plant.

• Flowers are small, leaves curl at the base – excessive
lighting, move the pot to the east window.
