Osteospermum Akila Grand Canyon pack of 8-10 Seeds Imported

Osteospermum Akila Grand Canyon Growing Osteospermum (African Daisy) from seed is a straightforward process. Here’s a detailed guide to help you:

Osteospermum Akila Grand Canyon Materials Needed:

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

Steps:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Sow the Seeds:
   • Sow the Osteospermum seeds on the surface of the soil. Lightly press them into the soil, covering them with a thin layer of soil or vermiculite (about 1/8 inch deep).
4. 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.
5. Cover the Trays/Pots:
   • 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.
6. Provide Light:
   • Place the covered trays or pots under grow lights or in a sunny windowsill. Osteospermum seeds need light to germinate. If using grow lights, keep them on for 12-16 hours a day.
7. 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.
