    This Micro-miniature Sinningia is a member of the Gesneriaceae family of plants like its relative, the African Violet. It requires high humidity but lower light levels than other Gesneriads and will do well at the edge of a fluorescent light stand or in a bright window with no direct sun. Being a micro miniature plant, it does best in a small, shallow container with well-draining potting medium. Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. The plant sometimes goes dormant but will re-emerge after a short rest period and it also readily reseeds itself.

    A delightful little plant to grow, it's one I've found very easy and I miss mine. When my plant went dormant the last time, I apparently didn't remember what was in the container and dumped it. :(
