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.
