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.
