Among such plants is eustoma, the development of which is very slow. However, experienced gardeners know how to speed up the development of this flower.

Since eustoma is very sensitive to air humidity, it would not hurt to create a kind of greenhouse for the seedlings by covering the container with film.

In addition, in January it is permissible to sow biennial plants if you want to enjoy their flowering this year – for example, columbine, medium bellflowers and carnations.
