Frequently Asked Questions
Discover how to germinate Torenia seeds, choose suitable growing conditions, and encourage abundant wishbone flowers.
Do Torenia fournieri seeds need light to germinate?
Torenia seeds are very small and are generally surface-sown or covered only lightly, depending on the seed supplier's instructions. Press the seeds gently onto moist seed-starting mix and avoid burying them deeply. Maintain suitable warmth and moisture until seedlings emerge.
Can wishbone flowers grow in full shade?
Torenia fournieri grows best in partial shade or bright, filtered light. It can tolerate some shade but may produce fewer flowers in very dark locations. In hot climates, protection from intense afternoon sunlight can help maintain healthy foliage and flowering.
Why are my Torenia plants wilting even when the soil is wet?
Torenia plants may wilt when their roots are stressed by waterlogged soil, poor drainage, or root damage. Check that pots have drainage holes and allow excess water to escape. Keep the soil evenly moist rather than saturated, and provide good air circulation around the plants.
