Growing Tips
Keep seeds moist but never waterlogged during germination. Place in a warm, shaded position with good light exposure. Seeds need light to germinate—do not cover completely with dark soil. Maintain soil temperature consistently between 18-22°C for best results. Remove humidity domes after germination to prevent damping off. Transplant seedlings once they reach 5-10cm tall and have true leaves. Do not expect flower color consistency from seed-grown plants; seedlings may produce red, pink, orange, white, or bicolor flowers. Be patient—seeds may lay dormant until ideal conditions are met.
