Starting Seeds Indoors
To have an early start, plant pentas seeds indoors 8 to 10 weeks before the date of the last frost. Start with filling a seed tray with a well-draining good-quality potting mix.

Second, water the soil with a fine spray to keep the soil at an even moisture level. Third, put the tray in a warm location, 70–75°F (21–24°C). Put the tray under a plastic wrap or a humidity dome to provide humidity. Germination 10 to 14 days. Once germinated, take off the cover and put the tray in bright indirect light.

Care for Pentas Plants
Pentas Butterfly Rose Deep are easy-care plants once planted. Water them every week or fortnight and keep the soil moderately moist. Never water too much because pentas prefer dry soils, not wet soils.
