The popularity of eustoma has only grown recently.
Expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh shared important rules that will definitely be useful to you if you want to try growing eustoma.
So, if you are attracted to several varieties at once, prepare reminder labels.
Since the granules are quite small, you can use tweezers or a toothpick, one end of which should be wetted in water.
Under optimal conditions, it will take 9-10 days for the seeds to germinate, but usually seedlings appear after 12-16 days.
You can speed up the process with the help of growth stimulants - under ideal conditions, the eustoma will sprout in 6-7 days.
These were the main tricks for growing seedlings. It remains only to remind about the need to pinch tall varieties - it is worth doing this after the formation of 3-4 pairs of leaves.
Thanks to this simple procedure, the lisianthus will branch better, form more flower stalks, and therefore its flowering will be more lush.
But low-growing varieties of eustoma do not need pinching – bushiness is in their genes.
