Other information

Grows well from seed. Spread seeds on top of 3 parts peat, 1 part sand mix and water like normal. Once the seedlings sprout, feed them to significantly increase growth. 

​

I feed my plant freeze dried blood worms which you can pick up at any pet store.

​

Be sure to collect seeds! This plant is an annual so you will need to collect and grow it from seed each year to keep it in your collection.

​

From my experience, the flowers will self pollinate but its possible you could increase the number of seeds you get by manually pollinating them.
