How to grow Voyage Mix Eustoma Lisianthus seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start indoors 10-12 weeks before the last frost; lisianthus is slow-growing.
• Outdoors: Plant out after the last frost in a sheltered, sunny spot.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Well-draining seed-starting mix
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Surface sow on moist seed compost; do not cover, as the tiny seeds need light to germinate.
• A heated propagator gives the best results; keep the mix evenly moist but never waterlogged.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Needed for germination; give bright light.
• Temperature: 68-77°F (20-25°C).

Germination

• Germination takes 10-21 days.
• Seedlings are slow; wait until they have 4 true leaves and feel sturdy before potting on.

Transplanting

• Pot on into individual pots at 4 true leaves; plant out after frost about 8 inches (20 cm) apart.
• Handle seedlings gently; the roots resent disturbance. Harden off before planting out.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun; give afternoon shade in very hot climates.
• Water: Keep evenly moist; avoid wet, boggy soil, which causes rot.
• Fertilizer: Light feeding during growth; rich, moist but well-drained soil suits them best.
• Support with twiggy sticks to keep stems straight for cutting.

Bloom Time:

Summer; sow early, as plants are slow to mature.
