The Full Picture

Cineraria is the drama queen of winter annuals. It has giant, lush leaves that lose water rapidly. If the soil dries out even slightly, the entire plant will completely collapse and wilt within hours. However, if you water it immediately, it will magically pop back up. The trick is balancing consistent moisture without rotting the roots. Also, keep it out of direct afternoon sun; it prefers cool, bright shade.
