Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you successfully germinate Lisianthus seeds: 1. Seed Selection and Preparation Quality Seeds: Purchase fresh, high-quality seeds from a reputable supplier. Lisianthus seeds are very small, so handle them with care. Pelleted Seeds: If possible, use pelleted seeds, which are easier to handle and plant. 2. Sowing the Seeds Timing: Start seeds indoors 10-12 weeks before the last expected frost date. Lisianthus has a long growing season and requires early starting. Seed Trays: Use seed trays or small pots filled with a sterile, well-draining seed starting mix. Moisten the mix before sowing. Sowing: Scatter the seeds thinly on the surface of the soil. Do not cover the seeds with soil, as they need light to germinate. Mist: Gently mist the seeds with water to settle them into the soil. 3. Germination Conditions Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Using a grow light is ideal if natural light is insufficient. Temperature: Maintain a consistent temperature between 70-75F (21-24C). A heat mat can help maintain the right temperature. Humidity: Cover the seed tray with a clear plastic cover or plastic wrap to create a humid environment. Ensure good ventilation to prevent mold growth. 4. Germination and Early Growth Patience: Germination can take 10-20 days. Be patient and keep the conditions consistent. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water from the bottom if possible to avoid disturbing the seeds. Thinning: Once seedlings have 2-3 true leaves, thin them to avoid overcrowding. 5. Transplanting First Transplant: When seedlings have several true leaves and are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots. Use a light, well-draining potting mix. Hardening Off: Gradually acclimate the seedlings to outdoor conditions over a week or two before transplanting them into the garden. Final Transplant: Transplant the seedlings into the garden after all danger of frost has passed. Space them about 6-8 inches apart. 6. Care and Maintenance Sunlight: Plant in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. Soil: Ensure the soil is well-draining and fertile. Amend with compost if needed. Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulch can help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Feeding: Fertilize every 2-4 weeks with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer to encourage healthy growth and blooming.
