Kohleria amabilis var. bogotensis
The size of the plant and of its bag can vary a little from the photograph — each one grows at its own pace. We keep them as consistent as we can.
Overview
Campanía, the tree gloxinia, is a Colombian gesneriad with velvety leaves and tubular flowers, pink and speckled in contrasting colors, like little painted bells. It belongs to an American genus much prized by collectors, and this variety, bogotensis, is named for Bogotá. It's related to African violet and gloxinia. It flowers generously in a pot or a shady corner.
Culture
It wants a warm, humid climate, partial shade or filtered light, and soil rich in organic matter, moist but not waterlogged. It grows from scaly underground rhizomes and may go through a rest period when it drops its leaves; don't worry, it resprouts. It propagates easily from stem cuttings or by dividing the rhizomes.
