Answers:
I think you are talking about Gloxinia
Gloxinia Care Instructions
Scientific Name: Sinningia speciosa
sin-IN-jee-ah spee-see-OH-sah
Water: Moderately moist soil is preferred. Water thoroughly when just the soil surface is dry to the touch. Do not allow plants to stand in water.
Light: Indirect or bright-diffused light is best. Temperature: Prefers 70F-75F degrees during the day and 65F-70F degrees at night.
Tips: Bloom will last from 2-4 weeks with proper care.
Take care not to overwater, as this can prevent buds from developing.
Avoid splashing water on leaves, which can cause yellow spots.
Aphids can be a problem.
