How to Plant and Care for Calibrachoa Strawberry Star Seeds
Starting Seeds
- Start Calibrachoa seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date.
- Use a well-draining seed-starting mix and lightly press the seeds into the soil's surface, as they require light to germinate.
- Maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) and keep the soil moist. Germination typically occurs in 10-14 days.
Transplanting Seedlings
Once seedlings develop 2-3 sets of true leaves and the danger of frost has passed, transplant them into hanging baskets, containers, or garden beds. Space plants 6-8 inches apart for optimal growth.
Sunlight
Provide full sun to partial shade. For the best flowering, ensure the plants receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Watering
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Calibrachoa prefers well-draining soil and does not tolerate overwatering. Water at the base to prevent fungal diseases.
Fertilizing
Feed Calibrachoa regularly with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-3 weeks to support continuous blooming.
Pruning
Pinch back spent blooms and trim the plant lightly to encourage bushier growth and more flowers.
