Identify houseplant?
Asked on 7 Jul, 2007
My daughter gave this plant to me yesterday - I have no idea what kind of plant it is. Can anyone help?

I'm sure it's a gloxinia! Should flower for a couple of months in bright light (not direct sun) Stand pot on damp pebbles and keep water off leaves when you water it (tepid temp). Lovely present from your daughter.

My first thought was a gloxinia too, it's pretty!

I compared some pictures and it's a gloxinia. Sounds like it will be a bit challenging to nurse back to health but I'll give it a try...I'm so glad I found this site today! I have lots of questions about my plants and now I have people to ask - a big thank you to all three of you!

Hi there, are the leaves 'downy' with quite long flower tubes coming from the base of the leaves?
