GLOXINIA 
This bulb plant has some of the character- 
istics of the Tuberous Rooted Begonia but 
is from an entirely different family. The 
Gloxinia is a house plant and cannot stand 
outdoor treatment. As a summer-time 
house plant, Gloxinias give a profusion of 
brilliantly colored blooms.

Gloxinia Cultural Directions 
Except for being a house plant only, the 
Gloxinia is similar in culture to the Tuber- 
ous Rooted Begonia and has the same soil 
and shade requirements. When received, 
Gloxinia plants should be changed to a 
larger pot and kept in the house in an 
eastern, western or northern exposure. 
Water snould be poured on the soil and al- 
lowed to drain through, using care not to 
get it on the leaves. It is well to spray 
plants with a Nicotine solution to prevent 
thrip and aphis. When plants finish bloom- 
ing, withhold water gradually and set 
potted plant aside in a cool, dry place and 
forget until February or March when they 
may be started again. 
If Using Bulbs—when the new sprout ap- 
pears, start the bulb in sand until well- 
rooted and then pot and treat as above.
