If Siningia lasts 20 years I must try one! Excellent Mary!
I left my Gloxinia in dormancy in the conservatory fully intending to repot in the spring, but it burst back into life before I did it.

It sits on a shelf over the kitchen sink.it is in a 3" pot with 3 stems, off the bulbit.the leaves have a stiff, furry serface.
