Gloxinia Blanche de Meru
M6265
The charming bell-shaped, bi-coloured blooms of Gloxinia ‘Blanche de Meru’ are displayed in a compact cluster, like a petite posy for your windowsill. Each petal is strikingly edged in deep pink, highlighting a snow-white centre.
Native to Southern Brazil, Gloxinia enjoy warm temperatures – around 60°F (16°C) is ideal. A highly attractive plant to brighten up the house or conservatory, Gloxinia ‘Blanche de Meru’ will flower for a stretch of several months. The button-like blooms are especially effective displayed in rows of terracotta pots.
Care Guide
Gloxinias are house plants which thrive in a conservatory or on a warm windowsill. Plant the tubers with the hollow side facing up in pots of moisture retentive compost. Do not fully bury the tuber – leave the top exposed above soil level.
Place pots on a bed of pebbles or stones in a dish for humidity and water regularly from below to avoid rotting or damaging stems and leaves. Feed every two weeks with high-phosphorus liquid plant food once buds appear in early summer.
