Tips for Growing Areana Red from Seed
Lisianthus can be a bit tricky to start from seed, but pelleted seeds, like the ones we offer, make the process much easier. Be patient—they can take 10–15 days to germinate. Keep temperatures around 70–75°F during germination, and use consistent moisture and high humidity to get them started.
Growers typically start lisianthus indoors and transplant them outside once seedlings have at least two sets of true leaves. Full sun, well-draining soil, and even moisture throughout the growing season are key to getting the long, healthy stems needed for cutting.
Lisianthus thrives in cooler climates or under shaded tunnel systems in warmer zones, and spacing at least 6 inches apart will help increase airflow and reduce disease.
