Sinningia tubiflora is a species from Paraguay, Argentina and Uraguay. Plants inhabit seasonal dry forests growing in rock cracks and on rocky slopes. Plants are 30 cm high. Inflorescences emerge in the spring and are erect above the leaves. The flowers measure 7 cm. Some sources describe a caudex. I have not seen a caudex on any wild specimen or picture and have not seen one on a herbarium specimen.
 
This plant is flowering size and is growing in a pot. Grow Sinningia tubiflora in a pot and use a gravel/grit, perlite and fine bark mix as a media. Make sure the plant gets sufficient air movement particularly when gown in humidity above 60%; always ensure that humidity is sufficiently high and give the plant moderate shade. Plants need to be grown reasonably damp while growing. This species likes an intermediate to cool greenhouse or terrarium with night low temperatures of 13-16 degrees and daytime temperatures of 23-28 degrees. Plants will grow indoors if cooler night temperatures, sufficient humidity and air circulation are provided.
