If a flowering plant does not bloom, the first thing we need to consider is the issue of light. Gloxinia requires sufficient scattered light and is afraid of strong sunlight, which can easily burn the leaves.

Variety selection

If you want to make gloxinia flowers bloom, you should first choose a superior variety with abundant flowers, short and strong plant shape, rapid growth and strong disease resistance as the mother plant.
