Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry slightly between waterings.

Reduce watering significantly during dormancy in winter, only providing enough to prevent the tubers from completely drying out. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

Remove spent flowers promptly to encourage continuous blooming and prevent seed formation, which diverts energy.

After the plant has finished flowering for the season, you can trim back the foliage to prepare for its dormant phase. This helps the plant conserve energy for the next growth cycle.

Gloxinia Xanthophylla can be propagated from leaf cuttings or by dividing the tubers. For leaf cuttings, take a healthy leaf and cut the petiole short.

For tuber division, carefully separate pieces of the tuber, ensuring each piece has at least one eye or growing point. Plant these in moist, well-draining soil.

Repot annually in spring just as new growth emerges. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and potting soil. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the tuber.

Ensure the tuber is planted with the top just at or slightly below the soil surface.
