Eustoma can be grown both for cutting and as a houseplant, and this can be done both in pots and planters, and in flower beds.
If you also want to try your hand at growing eustoma, use the advice on planting it, which was shared by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Eustoma takes a long time to germinate, and the germination stage is the most difficult and critical for growing.
The sowing time for tall varieties in the middle zone is late November – early January, in which case flowering will occur in July-August. If you sow later, flowering will occur in September or you can only grow them indoors.
Low-growing varieties can be sown from December to early March.
Eustoma seeds are very small in size, and therefore are often sold pelleted to make planting easier.
They don't require burying - you just need to press them down lightly, they germinate simply in the light.
Peat tablets are perhaps the most common way of sowing eustoma
To prepare peat tablets for planting, they must be poured with boiling water to quickly swell.
The tablets should be of the largest possible diameter and correspond to the size of the greenhouse. Vermiculite should be poured between them, and the sowing itself is carried out using a toothpick or a needle, which clings to the seed and places it on the surface of the tablet.
One seed is planted in one tablet, after which the seeds are sprayed with warm water from a large distance. There is no need to feed the plants before picking.
Earlier we talked about such a reason for the absence of flowering of roses as wild roses.
