CULTURE OF GLOXINIAS 
These dormant tubers are best started in loose fibrous peat 
kept just damp until root growth is out about an inch. Then 
lift and pot (leaving the peat attached to the roots) in a mixture 
of one part loam, 3 parts leafmold, 2 parts fibrous peat and 2 
parts sand, with about one teaspoonful of bonemeal to each pot. 
Use clean 5” pots for each bulb, placing good drainage in the 
bottom of the pot. Pot loosely and cover the top of the bulb 
about 1’’, Give very bright indirect light from the beginning and 
feed once a week with your favorite liquid fertilizer.
