They are popular houseplants because of their colorful leaves and striking flowers in various colors such as red, purple, pink, and white. Sinningias thrive in bright locations and require regular watering, but be careful not to let the soil become too wet. They can be placed in hanging pots or on the ground and do not have high soil requirements, as long as it is well-draining. Sinningias can easily propagate by taking cuttings from the mother plant.
