in the center of the plant. Properly produced and marketed at the right time, a 6-inch gloxinia will have a dozen or more buds and will continue to flower for three to four weeks, if properly cared for. In general, gloxinias should be treated as African violets — avoid high-intensity, direct sunlight; water from the saucer with warm (at least 70 F) water; keep on the moist side but not water-logged; and avoid cold or hot drafts. If allowed to wilt or if placed in too dark a location, most of the buds may fall off. Gloxinias also come in purples, whites, pinks, and bicolors.
The Rieger (or hiemalis) begonia looks very similar to the garden tuberous and "Nonstop) begonia. The leaves are somewhat glossy and brittle, and both single and double flowers may be found on the same plant. Riegers are relatively tolerant of sun exposure and temperature, and prefer a slightly moist medium. A high-quality plant will be at least half covered by flowers.
