# I need help with my Gloxinia. At first I had to cut her down because…

_Posted by Gusty on 2025-08-21_

I need help with my Gloxinia. At first I had to cut her down because of dormant growth, nothing was moving. Then it sprouted insanely fast. I don’t think it was close enough to sun so it grew quite leggy. Now it’s close to the sun and getting bushy. But it can’t even hold itself up. Otherwise it very healthy. I’m just unsure how to fix this. Do I just chop her down again?

Give it some support like a bamboo stick or something and tie her to it 😂

Ya I thought that might be the answer. I just don’t think she’ll ever flower looking like that 😭
