GROWING INSTRUCTIONS (Included on packet):GROWING INSTRUCTIONS (Included on packet):
Start Hypoestes seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Plant seeds on the surface of well-draining seed starting mix and press lightly into the soil, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist and maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C). Seeds should germinate within 10-14 days. Once seedlings have 2-3 sets of leaves, transplant them into individual pots. For the best foliage color, provide bright indirect light. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.Start Hypoestes seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date.
