What type of potting soil is best for a gloxinia?

Last Updated: June 30, 2010

View as web page


Gloxinias grow best in a soil mixture of 50-percent organic matter, such as peat moss, which is available at most Garden centers and nurseries. Most commercial potting soils are satisfactory, but if you prefer, you can blend your own using one part peat moss, one part compost, and one part perlite or vermiculite.

For more information on gloxina, please see the PlantTalk script #1308, Gloxinia.
