I was at Lowes today,and what did I spy in the "last chance plant rack"? Two beautiful Gloxinias,one purple/white & one pink/white. Want to turn them into houseplants. ALso picked up a lavender mini- rose...

Have you looked up growing tips for them online? I found they're a "sister" to the african violet-btw they do die back-you have to take the tuber out of the pot with some soil and let it rest in a ziploc bag-keep an eye on it & when it starts to sprout re plant. do not put the tuber in the fridge tho.....
Gloxinias!
