Problems with plant growth in a sunny window? Try the Gloriosa! Plant it in a deep pot with airy soil (e.g., peat moss), create a framework of some bamboo stakes, and this vigorously growing climber will surprise you in the scorching sun with its exotic-looking, red and yellow flowers. The 6 tepals are recurved, and the stamens and pistils protrude beyond them. It attracts the attention of chemists because there are no known diseases in this plant. The top-sized tubers are Dutch-grown, which means better and healthier growth.
