How to grow Terracotta Eustoma Lisianthus seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start indoors 10-12 weeks before the last frost; lisianthus is slow from seed, so start early.
• Outdoors: Direct sowing outdoors is not recommended; the tiny seeds need controlled conditions.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Well-draining potting mix
• Humidity dome or plastic wrap to hold moisture
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Surface-sow on moist, well-drained seed compost; press the tiny seeds in and do not cover, as light is needed for germination.
• A humidity dome helps keep the surface moist; remove it once seedlings appear.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: light is required for germination
• Temperature: 68-77°F (20-25°C); a heated propagator gives the best results

Germination

• Seeds sprout in about 10-15 days, sometimes up to three weeks.
• Seedlings grow slowly at first; keep them warm and bright.

Transplanting

• Pot seedlings on once they have about four true leaves, and grow on at around 65°F (18°C).
• Harden off and plant out after the last frost, spacing plants 6-10 inches apart.

Care Tips

• Sun: full sun; light afternoon shade helps in very hot climates.
• Water: keep the soil evenly moist but well drained; reduce watering as plants mature.
• Pinch young plants to encourage branching and more flowering stems.
• Provide twiggy supports in windy spots so the tall stems stay upright.

Bloom Time:

Summer to early fall; plants are slow to develop but reward patience with weeks of bloom.
