Gloxinia 
Gloxinia 
Gloxinias are among the showiest of pot plants, and are ideally adapted 
for greenhouse’ culture. In Florida and Southern California they may be 
grown in lath houses or in shady spots in the garden provided they are 
protected from winds. Plant in 5-inch or larger pots, using same compost 
as for Tuberous Rooted Begonias. Plant shallow, barely covering the bulbs. 
When active growth starts feed occasionally with liquid manure. In water- 
ing never wet the foliage, as it will cause spots. 50c ea.
