Gloxinia 
Gloxinia 
Gloxinias are one of the showiest of pot 
plants, and are ideally adapted for green- 
house culture. In Florida and Southern 
California they may be grown in lathe 
houses or in shady spots in the garden pro- 
21 
vided they are protected from winds. Plant 
in 5-ineh or larger pots, using same com- 
post as for Tuberous Rooted Begonias. 
Plant shallow, barely covering the bulbs. 
When active growth starts feed occasion- 
ally with liquid manure. In watering nev- 
er wet the foliage, as it will cause spots.
