Description
Soft, velvety, and beautifully dramatic, Sinningia (often called Florist Gloxinia) is a compact flowering houseplant loved for its lush foliage and bold trumpet-shaped blooms. Our assorted selection offers a surprise mix of colours — from deep purples and velvety reds to soft pinks and striking bi-colours — making each plant a unique treat. Perfect for bright indoor spaces, windowsills, or gifting, these compact plants reward you with generous flowering when given gentle care. Their luxurious petals and soft, fuzzy leaves bring a touch of tropical glam to any home.
Plant Care
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can burn the soft leaves.
Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but never wet. Water from the base or edge of the pot to avoid wetting the fuzzy leaves. Reduce watering once flowering finishes and allow a light dormancy period.
Temperature: Keep above 15 ºC. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature drops.
Potting: A light, well-draining mix is ideal. Our Sandy Loam works well for keeping roots airy.
Hot Tips: After flowering, the plant may naturally rest — reduce watering and keep slightly cooler. New growth will re-emerge from the tuber. Avoid misting the leaves. Rotate regularly for even flowering.
Pet Friendly: Yes
