These flowers take a long time to grow, but then they outshine even roses with their beauty.
Closer to mid-winter, flower growers begin to decide what they will sow next year.
Some summer residents believe that you need to rest in January, and you should think about seedlings only in February or even in March.
Eustomas are gradually winning the hearts of flower growers.
There are options for both lovers of low-growing plants (about 20 cm) and for fans of large flowers (more than 50 cm in height).
For eustoma, the most important thing is the soil. Light and loose soil is the key to success.
It is also important to ensure good drainage. This plant does not welcome stagnant water.
January is considered the ideal time for sowing this flower.
The thing is that this plant produces its first buds no earlier than five months after the emergence of seedlings.
Eustomas do not require any special care.
But timely watering is, of course, a must. Fertilizing is also welcome.
In January, daylight hours will become longer, but eustoma still requires additional lighting to get 12–14 hours a day.
This is the only requirement. But some gardeners manage to grow viable seedlings without additional lighting, which give excellent results.
