70-78 degrees F with humidity is the climate that Gloxinias need to thrive and bloom
They do not like dry heat, and will wilt very quickly if exposed to intense dry heat and sunlight
The Gloxinia makes a wonderful potted centerpiece, or an addition to a summer flower box arrangement
The flower colors include white, purple, red, blue, pink, and lavender
Open, airy environments with bright partial light is essential for these plants
They will quickly develop rot on their leaves if they are in a heavy, stuffy environment
