Tips on How to Grow Torenia from Seeds

Germination

• Start Torenia seeds about 6-8 weeks before the last frost date.

• Torenia does not transplant well, so seeds should be started in peat or paper pots.
•  Place 2-4 seeds per cell , use a biodegradable pot  (as Torenia do not want their roots disturbed.) or make one yourself from toilet paper rolls, cut the roll in half and make four cuts in the roll, 1/3 of the way up. Fold in the bottom like you would close a box. Fill them with a light potting soil, pack it down with your fingers, add seed  slices, fill with soil and then plant the seed 1/2-1 "/" deep.

•  Do Not Cover Seeds. Torenia is one of those plants that needs light to germinate

• Keep the soil moist and relatively warm (70 degrees F.) until the seeds germinate.

•  Pinch the plant when it has 3-4 set of true leaves or about 2 inches tall.
