Description
Growing Crossandra plants in pots from seed
Crossandra is easily raised from seed germinated on sphagnum moss or soil containing vermiculite, and equal parts of perlite and peat moss. Crossandra seeds need temperatures between 21 to 26°C for the best germination. Transfer the seedlings to individual pots and pinch them back when they are 4 inches high. If grown in rich, moist soil at a temperature of at least 18°C
Crossandra plants thrive best in bright, indirect sunlight. During the summer season, do not expose them to direct sunlight. In the winter season, provide as much light as possible. Indoors, your Crossandra plants can do well with bright artificial light.
A rich, peat-based potting soil with excellent drainage is beneficial for Crossandra. If grown outdoors, it wants to be in a well-drained spot and will enjoy having compost provided for nutrients.
Temperature range for growing Crossandra in pots
Crossandra enjoys the heat and high humidity. When they bloom, a temperature ranging from 70 to 75°Fis most recommended.
