gloxinia likes average to high humidity. moist, not soggy soil, dont water the leaves.feed monthly while in growth period. plant dormant tuber in 6 inch squatty pot in moist, humusy soil mix;or enclose in moist peat moss in plastic bag until roots form. tuber must rest 2-3 months after leaves yellow, needs a min temp of 65 degrees F. you can propagate by rooting leaf cuttings, stem cuttings from new growth, or with a tuber in spring, or by sowing seeds. it also likes moderate/diffuse light. the key is to make sure the tuber rests between bloomings
