Growing Guide
Step 1: Sow the Seeds
Fill a seed tray with fine, moist seed-starting mix. Scatter the tiny Calibrachoa seeds over the surface and gently press them into the growing medium without covering them, as light can support germination. If the seeds are pelleted, mist gently to dissolve the coating.

Step 2: Maintain Warmth and Moisture
Keep the seed tray in a bright location at approximately 70–75°F (21–24°C). Maintain even moisture using a fine mist and avoid washing the tiny seeds away. Seedlings commonly emerge in about 10–14 days, although timing varies.

Step 3: Grow Healthy Seedlings
After emergence, provide plenty of bright light to encourage sturdy growth. Keep the growing medium lightly moist rather than saturated. Once seedlings develop true leaves, handle them carefully when thinning or transplanting into individual containers.

Step 4: Transplant to the Garden or Containers
Move established seedlings into pots, hanging baskets, or garden beds with fertile, well-drained soil. Allow seedlings to adjust gradually to outdoor conditions before planting permanently. Choose a sunny location and provide adequate space for the selected cultivar to spread.
