Description:
This tropical plant is named after university professor of botany Wilhelm Sinning. S. brasiliensis has a lignified tuber, which grows mostly underground, to ensure the plant’s survival during periods of drought. From its tuber depart the green leaves, ovoid and with visible ribs. All species of Sinningia have in common the majesty of their inflorescences, consisting of large bell-shaped flowers. S. brasiliensis will give us beautiful yellowish flowers, with very particular purple spots and shades, with velvety and thick petals. They adapt well to bright enclosed and sheltered places, so they are perfect for enriching your homes and your offices with vivacity and good humor!

Plant care:
It requires a lot of light during all seasons, however, avoid direct sunlight.
Its natural habitat is in tropical climates, thus it does not withstand temperatures below 10 °C, on the other hand, it does not like too dry heat. It is therefore advisable to keep it away from cold and intense sun.
During the warm seasons water it regularly but moderately to keep the soil moist. In winter it is advisable to completely suspend watering, as the plant enters vegetative rest.
A substrate composed of soil combined with fine sand is an optimal solution, as long as it is well draining and avoids rotting.
They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
