How to Grow Vinca Flowers
Sowing Tips
- Soil Preparation: Use well-draining, slightly sandy soil enriched with compost.
- Sowing Location: Select a sunny spot, though vincas can tolerate partial shade.
- Seed Placement: Scatter seeds on the soil surface and lightly press them in. Avoid covering with soil as vinca seeds need light to germinate.
- Watering: Mist the soil gently to maintain consistent moisture during germination.
Germination Tips
- Ideal Sowing Time: Sow indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in warmer regions after frost danger has passed.
- Germination Period: Seeds sprout within 10-14 days under optimal conditions.
- Temperature Requirements: Germinate best at 24-30°C.
Plant Care and Maintenance
Transplanting
- Once seedlings have 2-3 sets of true leaves, transplant them into garden beds or containers.
- Maintain a spacing of 8-10 inches to allow for healthy growth and airflow.
Watering and Feeding
- Watering: Vinca plants prefer moderate watering. Allow the topsoil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer once every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.
