Gloxinia, Violets, and Boea, oh my!<\/strong> The Gesneriads are both graceful and whimsical, with a profusion of colorful flowers, fuzzy textures, and striking leaf patterns. It’s no wonder so many popular and beloved houseplants are members of this family. In this presentation, you’ll learn the basics of growing Gesneriads successfully and which ones are worthy of a place on your sill.<\/p>\n
