How to grow Blue Picotee Eustoma Lisianthus seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

  • Indoors: Start indoors 8–12 weeks before the last frost — lisianthus is slow-growing and needs an early start.
  • Outdoors: Direct sowing outdoors is not recommended; transplant started seedlings after the last frost.

Prepare Your Materials

  • Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
  • Well-draining potting mix
  • Cover with a humidity dome or plastic wrap to hold moisture; vent daily.
  • Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

  • Sow on the surface of the mix and press in gently — do not cover; lisianthus seeds need light to germinate.
  • Seeds are tiny; handle carefully and keep them evenly moist without burying them.

Provide the Right Conditions

  • Light: Bright light during germination and growing.
  • Temperature: 68–77°F (20–25°C) for germination; grow seedlings on in cooler conditions around 60–65°F (15–18°C).

Germination

  • 10–21 days; often toward the longer end — be patient.
  • Grow on cool and bright; pot up when seedlings have 3–4 true leaves. Avoid high heat, which can stall young plants.

Transplanting

  • Transplant when seedlings are sturdy with several sets of true leaves, after all frost danger.
  • Harden off for 7–10 days before planting out.
  • Space about 8 inches apart.

Care Tips

  • Sun: Full sun; in very hot climates, light afternoon shade helps.
  • Water: Keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged.
  • Fertilizer: Feed lightly with a balanced liquid fertilizer once seedlings are established.
  • Stake tall stems if needed; cut blooms for long-lasting indoor arrangements.

Bloom Time:
