- Pelleted seeds are coated to make them simpler to handle and plant, thereby.
- The coating ensures even germination, i.e., greater seeds germinate well.
- They are ideal for small seeds like Lisianthus, which at times are hard to get and evenly sow.
- Lisianthus Purple tolerates full sun, with a minimum of six hours of direct sunlight daily.
- It needs well-draining soil that is lightly acidic to neutral (pH 6.0–7.0).
- Maintain temperature 65–75°F (18–24°C) for optimal germination.
- Sow pelleted seeds in a loose, light tray of soil or loose seed-starting mix.
- Sow pelleted seeds on the surface of the medium without covering since they require light for germination.
- Water lightly by sprinkling a fine mist on the ground but not moisture.
- Provide even temperature and put the tray with a humidity dome or plastic cover.
- Germination will be 10 to 15 days, so don’t worry.
Lisianthus Purple Watering and Feeding
- Maintain the ground wet but not soggy to prevent root rot.
- Water with shower only on soil avoid watering on leaf.
- Fertilize with a balanced liquid fertilizer every two weeks for maximum growth.
- Transplant seedlings into larger pots or plant beds at 3 to 4 inches tall.
- Plant them 6 to 8 inches apart to provide air space.
- Shield newly planted young growth from heavy rain and wind to avoid having them destroyed.
- Purple Lisianthus blooms in four to five months, but well worth the wait.
- Drop dead flowers to encourage ongoing flowering.
- These are great long-cutting flowers, lasting in a vase for up to two weeks.
