Godetia Coastal Mix Pack of 25-30 Seeds imported

Godetia Coastal  (Clarkia amoena) from seed is relatively straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

Godetia Coastal Materials Needed:

• Godetia seeds
• Seed starting mix
• Seed trays or small pots
• Clear plastic cover or plastic wrap (optional)
• Spray bottle
• Labels (optional)
• Grow lights or a sunny windowsill

Steps:

1. Choose the Right Time:
   • Godetia prefers cooler temperatures, so it’s best to sow seeds in early spring or late summer. You can start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date or sow them directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
2. Prepare the Seed Starting Mix:
   • Use a sterile seed starting mix to prevent disease. Moisten the mix with water until it’s damp but not soggy.
3. Fill Seed Trays or Pots:
   • Fill your seed trays or small pots with the moistened seed starting mix. Leave a small gap at the top to prevent water from spilling over.
4. Sow the Seeds:
   • Sow the Godetia seeds on the surface of the soil. Lightly press them into the soil but do not cover them completely, as they need light to germinate.
5. Water the Seeds:
   • Use a spray bottle to mist the soil surface lightly. This helps to keep the seeds in place and provides the moisture needed for germination.
6. Cover the Trays/Pots (Optional):
   • You can cover the seed trays or pots with a clear plastic cover or plastic wrap to create a humid environment. This helps retain moisture and warmth but is not strictly necessary for Godetia.
7. Provide Light:
   • Place the trays or pots under grow lights or in a sunny windowsill. Godetia seeds need light to germinate. If using grow lights, keep them on for 12-16 hours a day.
8. Maintain Moisture:
   • Check the soil regularly to ensure it stays moist. Mist with water as needed. Avoid overwatering, which can cause the seeds to rot.
9. Germination:
   • Germination typically takes 7 to 30 days. Once the seeds have sprouted, remove any plastic cover.
10. Transplanting:
    • When the seedlings have developed at least two true leaves and are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots filled with a potting mix.
