Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Stratify the seeds by placing them in a moistened paper towel inside a plastic bag. Refrigerate for 4-6 weeks to simulate winter conditions and improve germination rates.

Sowing:

Sow the seeds indoors in seed trays filled with a quality seed-starting mix. Sow the seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them in without covering, as they need light to germinate.

Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.

Germination:

Place the seed trays in a bright location but out of direct sunlight. Maintain a temperature of around 60-70 °F (15-21 °C).

Germination can take 2-4 weeks. Keep the soil consistently moist during this period.

Transplanting:

Once seedlings have developed a few sets of true leaves and are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots or their permanent location.

Space the plants 12-18 inches apart in a shaded area with moist, well-drained soil.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Mulch around the plants to help retain moisture.

Stylophorum Sutchuenense prefers cool, shaded environments. Protect from direct sunlight and provide adequate shade.

Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and to prevent self-seeding.

Monitor for pests such as slugs and snails, which can be controlled with organic methods or slug bait if necessary.

Happy Gardening!
