▲ Sowing Instructions:
Growing mixed Eustoma (Lisianthus) from seeds can be a rewarding process, but it requires patience and careful attention to detail. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. Seed Preparation
• Seed type: Eustoma seeds are tiny. Pelleted seeds are non-coated with a material.
• Germination time: Eustoma seeds are slow to germinate and can take 10-15 days.
2. Sowing the Seeds
• Timing: Start seeds indoors about 10-12 weeks before the last expected frost.
• Container: Use shallow seed trays or small pots filled with a well-draining seed starting mix.
• Surface sowing: Eustoma seeds need light to germinate, so don’t cover them with soil. Simply press them lightly into the surface of the soil.
• Humidity: Mist the surface lightly with water and cover the tray with a plastic lid or plastic wrap to retain moisture.
3. Germination Conditions
• Temperature: Maintain a temperature of about 21-24°C (70-75°F) for optimal germination.
• Light: Place the seed tray under grow lights or in a well-lit area. Eustoma seeds need bright, indirect light to germinate.
• Moisture: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Avoid letting it dry out.
4. After Germination
• Remove cover: Once seedlings start to emerge (in about 10-15 days), remove the plastic cover to allow air circulation.
• Lighting: Continue providing bright light to prevent seedlings from becoming leggy. You can use grow lights or place them near a sunny window.
• Temperature: After germination, maintain temperatures around 18-21°C (65-70°F) for healthy growth.
5. Transplanting Seedlings
• Thinning: When seedlings have at least 2-3 sets of true leaves, thin them out to allow proper space for growth or transplant them into individual pots.
• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix.
• Hardening off: Gradually acclimate the seedlings to outdoor conditions before transplanting them outside by exposing them to outdoor temperatures for a few hours each day, increasing the time over 1-2 weeks.
6. Transplanting Outdoors
• Timing: Transplant outdoors when all danger of frost has passed.
• Spacing: Space the plants about 15-30 cm (6-12 inches) apart.
• Location: Eustoma prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade in hotter climates. Ensure the soil is well-draining and rich in organic matter.
7. Care and Maintenance
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging. Eustoma prefers even moisture but doesn’t like soggy soil.
• Fertilizing: Feed the plants with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-3 weeks to promote healthy growth and flowering.
• Support: Taller varieties of Eustoma may need staking to prevent the stems from bending under the weight of the flowers.
8. Blooming
• Flowering: Eustoma blooms in mid to late summer, producing beautiful rose-like flowers in a variety of colors.
• Deadheading: Remove spent blooms to encourage more flowering and to keep the plants looking tidy.
By following these steps, you can successfully grow mixed Eustoma from seeds and enjoy their beautiful blooms throughout the growing season.
