Hi Ali, you are correct, Lisianthus are hard to germinate and takes time. We have planted them from seeds before and we used vermiculite. They may be hard to grow but once established they are beautiful and worth it! Best of luck! 😊

Hello Totally Domestic, Many types of flowers like to do this. They rush to flower and then often just shut down for the season. When you start them from seed you can let them grow until they have several sets of leaves, then pinch off the very top growing point. The plant can't grow up without the tip and it will respond by making several branches. Each one of these branches will become a flowering stem. Your snapdragons will then be more showy and a bit more stalky (shorter). I know it seems like a mean thing to do to a young plant but it actually encourages more flowers. It will set the flower back a week or two, so it won't flower as quickly as if you left it alone, but you will get more flowering branches. Patience, however, is part of a successful garden. Stock, is another flower that benefits from pinching. Just make sure you have several sets of leaves as the plant will recover better and a branch can form from each set. If your flowers are already blooming, just trim them and make a bouquet for the house. Continue to water and feed and the plants should start to branch and give you some more flowers in three to four weeks. I hope that helps! Happy Gardening!

Hi Bella, great question. I found this quote from google which sums up one of the reason we start seeds using vermiculite. "Vermiculite helps to aerate soil while simultaneously retaining water and nutrients, which it then releases over time. Vermiculite is therefore useful in seed sowing and propagation." Also, vermiculite has been sterilized while soil hasn't been. This difference can help seedlings stay healthy and not develop any diseases early on. Hope that answers your question.

We kept the light on 24hrs until we're ready to put them in the 6 pack trays. Since we kept the seedlings indoors, they didn't have enough light once they germinated, so we kept the light on. If the seedlings didn't get enough light they don't grow well and they will also stretch. We tried putting them next to a window but they still stretched so we just the left the light on to keep it consistent. Hope that helps. Thank you for watching!

We buy our grow light and heat mat from Amazon. Any one of the brands will work fine. They have many you can choose from. We use Ipower heating mat and Fauna grow light brands. But as I’ve mentioned, there are others on Amazon that will work just as good. I don’t endorse just one brand. Thank you!

We use the spray bottle daily to keep the soil moist not not overly soaking. We keep the Snapdragons under the light all day since they are inside the house until they are ready to get transplanted. Once you transplant them into the 6 pack you don't need to keep them under the light. We have a greenhouse where we put the plants until they are ready to be planted in the ground and they get enough light there. Hope that helps.

@@TeodoraTheFlowerLady Thank you so much!! You don't know how much that has helped me! I wish I had someone to grow all my seeds and I plant them! 🤣 That would be so wonderful! Ty again, I appreciate all your help.😁🌈🌟🤙

We bought it from this site: www.harrisseeds.com/ Also, I found a similar tray on Amazon if you want to check it out. amzn.to/3oUjWqx

Thank you for watching!🌸🌼🌸

So sorry to hear about your planting woes. I usually water them with a clean spray bottle and clean water if they are still very small. Once they germinate I make sure they get sunlight so they don't stretch. Also, the planting medium or soil I use prior to germination is packaged and has been sterilized. Don't give up! I wish you success and joy in planting. Thank you for stopping by.
