Sinningia eumorpha x bullata is a hybrid within the Gesneriaceae family, combining traits of the Brazilian species Sinningia eumorpha and Sinningia bullata. It grows from a tuber, producing upright stems with softly textured leaves that may display the velvety surface and deep veining characteristic of S. bullata, along with the broader leaf form of S. eumorpha.
Flowering typically occurs in the warmer months, with tubular blooms that may vary in colour depending on the individual plant, often showing pale to mid-tones with contrasting throats. The hybrid inherits a seasonal growth cycle, entering dormancy in cooler months when the foliage dies back to the tuber.
Care Tips:
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; tolerates some gentle morning sun.
Water: Water regularly during active growth, allowing the surface to dry slightly between waterings; keep dry during dormancy.
Media: Use a free-draining, organic-rich mix suited to tuberous plants.
Temperature: Maintain warmth in the growing season; protect from cold and frost.
Fertiliser: Apply a diluted, balanced fertiliser every 2–3 weeks while actively growing.
Repotting: Repot in spring as new growth begins, positioning the tuber just below the surface.
