Sinningia ‘Avanti Scarlet’ (Gloxinia Sonata)

Care

Sinningia requires careful, but not overly complicated care, making it accessible even to beginners. Here are some key aspects for caring for this plant:

• Light: Prefers bright, but filtered light. Direct sunlight, especially midday, can burn the leaves and flowers. An ideal location would be near an east or west-facing window, where it can receive morning or evening sunlight.
• Watering: The soil should be kept moist, but not saturated. Allow the top layer of soil to dry out slightly before watering again. Avoid watering directly on the leaves or flowers, as they can be sensitive to water.
• Humidity: Sinningia 'Brocade Avanti Blue' prefers high humidity. Using a humidifier or placing the plant on a tray of gravel and water (without the base of the pot sitting in water) can help maintain the desired humidity level.
• Temperature: Grows best in temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. Protect the plant from cold drafts and large temperature fluctuations.
• Fertilizer: During the period of active growth and flowering, apply a liquid fertilizer for flowering plants once a month, diluted to half the dose recommended on the package.
