Gesneriad: Gloxinia sylvatica 'Bolivian Sunset'
Hi all,
This one is so easy. Just keep it watered. I have it blooming in many places, in pots and terrarium. I have recently had trouble getting seeds though. It worries me. Since I have stopped getting seeds I haven't been able to spread it out more. This was the last time it bloomed well, back in April. The plant looks like it's getting ready for another round, maybe by December.

You probably know there is a Gesneriad Society, and that they have a seed bank for members, and that gesneriads are very easy from seed... right?

YEs, yes, and yes. I am a member but I have never sent for seeds. I suppose I can do that when the situation gets really bad.
