💧 Perfect Your Seed-Starting Conditions

To grow Lisianthus and other delicate flowers from seed, patience and precision are key.

Pro grower tips:

• Use a fine seed-starting mix and moisten it before sowing.

• Lisianthus, Petunia, and Statice need light to germinate — don’t bury the seeds.

• Maintain consistent humidity using a dome or plastic cover.

• Keep soil temperatures around 72–75°F (22–24°C) for germination.

• Once seedlings appear, provide bright light and avoid overwatering.

🌷 Pro tip: Lisianthus can take up to 20 days to germinate — steady warmth and patience always pay off.

🌼 Transplanting for Success

Once your seedlings are strong, move them into larger trays or pots.
Space plants about 6–8 inches apart and grow in full sun.

Feed with a balanced fertilizer (like 20-10-20) every two weeks for healthy foliage and strong flower stems.
Consistent moisture keeps blooms lush — especially for Impatiens, Petunias, and Lisianthus.
