How to Grow Pentas Graffiti Flirty Pink
Scatter on surface of damp mix. Here’s the trick: keep the mix WET (not just moist) for the first 10 days. Pentas want a swamp start. Use room-temperature water - cold water shocks them.
more ›Container: Egg trays or small cups with holes. Not big pots.
Keep in indirect light, mist daily. Sprouts in 7-10 days.
more ›Then move to 4-5 hrs morning sun or 2-3 hrs evening sun. Increase over a week.
Move at 2-3 true leaf sets. Do it in the evening or on a cloudy day.
more ›That's a 1 : 1 : 0.25 ratio. Mix well, fill pot, water, then transplant.
Watering: After the swamp start phase, switch to normal - water when top inch is dry. Always use room-temp water, never cold.
more ›Flowers in about 13-16 weeks from sowing.
Wet start, then normal. Never cold water. Butterflies will thank you.
