| Gloxinella lindeniana grows from a rhizome and has a little white and lavender bloom , but the foliage is were the attraction is for this little beauty. It has brownish leaves with brilliant green stripes were the veins run through the leaf. It is a medium sized plant ( 2 1/2" pot), I grow it in a 4" hanging basket so the blooms are visible. It grows in regular miracle-gro potting soil and seems very happy. |
| above and right - the bloom is small and most people don't notice it. I think it is nice and grow it in a hanging basket so I can see it.. |
