  1. sinningia speciosa

    Sinningia speciosa, also known as Gloxinia, is a species of flowering plant in the family Gesneriaceae. It is native to Brazil and known for its large, velvety bell-shaped flowers and thick, fleshy leaves. The flowers come in various colors including red, pink, blue, purple, or white. It's mainly grown as an ornamental plant and popular houseplant due to its attractive flowers. It was named after Wilhelm Sinning, a German botanical gardener. Its cultivation requires well-draining soil, moderate temperatures, and bright, indirect light. In addition, it has a tuberous nature, which allows it to survive periods of dormancy.

  1. Sinningia speciosa

    Sinningia speciosa, commonly known in the horticultural trade as Gloxinia, is a tuberous member of the flowering plant family Gesneriaceae. The common name has persisted since its original introduction to cultivation from Brazil in 1817 as Gloxinia speciosa. The name Florist's gloxinia is sometimes used to distinguish it from the rhizomatous species now included in the genus Gloxinia. The plants produce large, velvety, brightly colored flowers and are popular houseplants. Cultural requirements are similar to those of African Violets except that S. speciosa generally requires more light and often has a dormant period, when the tuber should be kept cool and dry until it resprouts.
