This is the most informative video I have seen able soil blocking from seed Lisianthus. Thank you so much for this content.

You have so much knowledge and explain so well. Please do a series on specialty flowers from seeds. Like Stock, snap dragons, ...

This was EXTREMELY valuable!! Thank you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🌺🌺🌺🌺

I failed the lisianthus test last year, I started seeds and bought plugs but no flowers. Thanks for this video, it helped me understand where I went wrong.

Thank you! This tutorial was incredibly helpful. I really appreciate that you took us through the entire life from seed starting to how to harvest. 🙌

I wanted to say thank you for your videos on Lisianthus. I have successfully harvested my 1st batch of champagne and I'm waiting to see my roseanne brown next! I think the trick for me was using less water than I thought it would want. Ex. As seedlings, I let them dry a bit between watering. I put them in raised beds and the soil drys out between watering so the top layer is dry. Also, I used biotone in the soil when they were transplanted. I think my Arena 3 Golds are duds but they were watered much more heavily than the other 2 varieties.

Fantastic! This video was exactly what I was looking for! You answered all my questions and some I didn't even realize I had! I'm off to check out what others you might have!

This is my first year growing Lisianthus. I’m very excited by the germination I’ve experienced so far. Oh my are they itty bitty tiny. I decided last year soil blocking is the only way I’ll do my seedlings and am addicted to making these little brownie bite mud pies 😅. I appreciate the tips and advise! I’m a Colorado native home gardener and haven’t found a lot of resources for our area / altitude. Im very new to gardening in general. Dabbled a bit in the past but have really enjoyed growing cut flowers and a few vegi’s This will be my third year, and I’m so excited! I received a greenhouse from Santa this year and was looking for ideas and came upon your channel. I love your content so far and will be watching all of them :). Looking forward to a wonderful 2023 season!

Sorry just seeing this, I had an amazing experience and way over bought this year. They have become my #1 favorite flower!!! I planted 2.5 full trays this year and was planning to plant out today only to discover 1 full tray (300 plants) and about 80 of my second tray got cooked in the greenhouse 😢 I’m devastated. The effort is well worth the reward, but heartbreaking when lost. Best of luck and hope you are giving them a go this year!

So glad I found you. Colorado native and starting a rural flower farm and nursery. I had great luck with my Lisianthus last year until my lambs and bunnies got the tray lol. I'm excited to use your videos as a resource as I grow. Colorado is tricky to grow in so any help is appreciated.

I can't thank you enough for this video! I have searched and searched and this one is far more the most helpful and informative. Have a good day

I'm glad that I found your channel 👍🏼 I have been nervous about trying to grow these from seeds. I needed your encouragement 👍🏼 Thank you

Thank you for the incredible lisianthus tutorial!

You have some of the best info here. Thanks so much!!

Excellent info. Thanks for sharing. I’m going to be starting lisianthus in soil blocks soon so this was very helpful.

So glad I came across your video, best information I’ve seen about growing lisianthus. Had my first experience last season and it was rather dismal so after watching this I’m more confident about having more success in 2023!

So incredibly helpful to me as a first time growing Lisianthus! Thank you.

I so, so much appreciate how factual your videos are. You are my go-to source for learning about all things flowers. Fan in Bozeman, MT.

Thank you for this video. You explained everything!!!! Not many people do. I subscribed can’t wait to watch more😊

great video and very helpful! I've grown them for two seasons so far, and plan to start more soon!

Excellent video!!! You are a great teacher. I am in Michigan and this is my first "real" season with my cut flower business. I am just tiny compared to you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Thanks! Best info I have seen on this subject.

Very educational video. Thanks for all of the effort you put into your videos.

Super great tutorial!!! Thank You!!💚

Great job sharing! Thank you so much. We are in Phoenix and are starting seeds for the first time!

Trying these this year! So excited. I was too late into the season last year discovering this video so I saved it and came back to it.

What a great tutorial, especially since I'm just up the road from you all outside Boulder. Lisianthus are one of my favorites. I hope to start some next year rather than trying to buy just a few plugs. This year is for installing the new dahlia bed.

This is an excellent tutorial, I'm excited to grow listianthus here in MA !

Great video! On my 3rd season growing Lisanthus from seed. I just purchased a soil blocker. Still getting the hang of the soil consistency. I was lucky enough To get 2 trays of plugs from Grow & Sell. I live just around the corner from them & stopped in with fingers crossed! I've been repotting plugs all week! I definitely picked up a couple tips from your video. Thank you!🌿

What a wonderful and informative video. Thank you

These are so beautiful!

Thanks for the tips. I did use the 1" soil blocks last year and I had great success. But it's time to step it up. Going to try lisianthus in the smaller soil blocks and try all your tips (i.e. green sand, mycorrhizae, pitt moss).

Now I feel I can try growing these :) Thank you so much for this video.

Great info in this video! Good job!

This'll be my first season trying lisianthus. I am very intimidated. Your video is very helpful lots of wonderful info. thank you so much.

So happy i found your channel love lisianthus flowers and have not been successful.. ..this video was sooo helpful.looking forward to some success next season❤

I really enjoyed this video. I already planted my lisianthus seeds in row cells, and they are germinating. I spray them every day, my main worry is fungus gnats. This video was very helpful. Next time, I’ll do soil blocks for sure.

My first year growing lisianthus. I’ve been waiting for them to get ‘big enough’ to plant out. Few details of how to grow them given by my well known supplier here in U.K. Thanks for putting me straight. Even if I fail this year, I’ll try again next year now I know how.

Great info!

Awesome video! Thank you!

I want to thak you for one of the better video s ( your best is yet to come, keep at it ) on growing lizzies! I just found out that they do great in my zone with some shade, moisture, they actually tolerate heat and drought! Las Vegas heat and drought is not tolerated by anything but desert plants but I can give it some tlc and will try to make it work..first time beginning flower aspiring farmer, will let you know how it goes! thank you

I’m starting mine tonight. Super excited to have a armload in about 8 months. They actually do sell lisianthus at Home Depot and Lowe’s here in Hawaii. My first was from there.

This is the most comprehensive lisianthus video I've watched. I've watched many. Thanks so much! 6b Saint Louis, Missouri I have about 80 blocks germinating as we speak, to grow in my suburban home cut flower garden. Thanks to your tip in this vid, I'm going to move a tray with only about 20% germed, back on to the heat mat. Again, thanks so much!

Well done and clearly useful information. I believe I will give this a shot to see if I can replicate what I have just seen. Thank you.

Thanks so much! Have ordered my seeds and cant wait to try (but am also very nervous as Ive heard they are so difficult) This was really helpful x

Very helpful video, thanks. Thisnis my 2nd year and hoping to see blooms this time.

Beautiful flower.

Thank you! I just purchased some plugs (less than 20). I’ve never grown them before. If they come in trays/cell’s should I transplant them to some type of soil block? (New to soil blocking too). I appreciate all the info! Stunning Flowers you have grown! 🌱🌸💗

Great video thank you for sharing!. Do you pinch your lisianthus at the start of the season and if so how many leaves should you cut down to?

Mine are coming up so I’m trying to keep them moist. The voyage series is my favourite but I’m trying a few arenas this year. I’ll have to think about the soil blocking . I’m a little hesitant as I have weak wrists.

I didn't plant mine out until after the last frost and after they were much much larger than this. They did beautifully!

I had to rewind this a few time to see what she was saying…. I also freaked a little when I saw the price of a 1 lb bag is over $150. I certainly want the best outcome given the effort but curious of the formula and source. Maybe I’m looking up the wrong product or there are alternatives to consider

Thank you so much!! I’m zone 9, so have already started by seed. First set: 128 trays, yielded 99.9% germination. About to start 4th leaf stage. Earlier in the week, I sowed 2 trays of soil blocks. And now we wait. 😂

Lisianthus are such a beautiful flower 🥹

I LOVE lisianthus!! As in write poems and sing songs about them!! Haven’t had any success at all starting seeds. Now I’m armed and ready to try again! I don’t have any experience with soil blockers. Should I invest in one? LOVE ❤️ them I say!😊

Wow- very informative and helpful. Plus, Regenerative! I subscribed. I'm glad I found you.

Love it

Thanks for focusing on all of the steps and not rushing thru important details. Do you also grow eucalyptus from seed? I know they take a long time like lizzy, but are warm season. Also, 1st time soiling blocking and I’m wondering if while I’m waiting for the seed to germinate should I be bottom watering for misting the top of the blocks??

Just discovered you, love your vids! Where did you get the yellow trays you are using?

I’ve never grown these, but they keep popping up on videos so I may have to try. They appear to be the same germination as petunias. They look like roses. I wonder if they would do well in winter sow jugs? That’s a lot of starts! Wow! I have to fence everything because deer and rabbits eat Everything here. I think I’m close to having enough 7’ high fence to do all the acreage😂. I’d probably have to go higher as they will jump if the other side isn’t packed with plants. Sure would be nice to see the plants without a fence. And you said it, plants are Expensive this year and so are some seeds! Thanks!

This is wonderful! I'm so glad to have found a flower grower who has the same frost date as me, it makes the information so much more relevant! Here's my question: You talked a lot about the netting, which makes sense, but how would I go about staking these flowers as I only have a few!

Can the seeds get to warm when before they germinate? I have them on heat mats and grow lights and I'm worried about them getting too warm. Thanks for the video

Good question! Love to know the answer..

Is there a percentage of plants that we wait for with regard to getting their first set of true leaves prior to reducing watering?

I love that yellow long tray! Where did you get it??

Thanks for the awesome knowledge sharing! I live in zone 8b Texas and just had my first year of growing my lizzys from seeds and had fairly good results. One thing I did notice is that they seem perennialized themselves in our zone, but they do look like a rosette growth because the new growth are all formed down at the base. I was wondering if this happened to you guys and if so, will them flower again since you mentioned that rosette will stop the flowers from happening? Thanks a lot!

Is there any progress from your lisianthus with that rosette growth? 😢 I’m thinking of growing them in my zone but hearing that they are prone to a few issues along with their slow growth makes me turned off instantly.

@yudu481

@@dolsemiyano For me, rosetting is not an issue, but actually a natural way for them to grow in size. They grow as a bigger, rosetting base, with multiple flower stems up when it's bloom time. But again, this is just for my zone of 8b, where lisianthus is a perennial.

Hi, I have learn so much from your videos. I never grow flowers because I overwater them 😮I leave in South California, I’m planting Lisiamthus from seeds, group 3, when should I plant the seed? For group 1 and 2 do I need the light? Also, how often I water them? And, when you mentioned in between water, is like once a day, every other day? I’m so sorry for all the questions. Like I said I’m new and I want flowers in my yard and house. Have a great day 😊

I don’t use lights at germination, find it leads to drying out! Just ambient light is plenty.

One question I have in starting your seed . Do you keep the seedlings under grow lights indoors ? For how long ?

Thank you so much for this info. I ordered plugs, and they will be here this weekend!! I'm so excited, and kinda scared. I don't want to kill them! I'm going to put them in raised beds. Some where, I think I heard that putting cinnamon in their soil will help deter fusarium. Do you know any thing about this? Thank you again. Your style of teaching is awesome. all of the videos of yours that I've listened to have been VERY informative and have PRACTICAL hints and tips. Thanks for keeping it real.

Do you put them under a light while they are on a heat mat or after? growing in a basement, no greenhouse yet.

I started my 1st batch of roseanne brown and champagne Voyage and i had beautiful germination. Couldn't have done this well without ur video. Thank you! I started a 2nd batch of corelli and i think i got them too wet, and left both the dome and heat mat on too long 😅 😳 i had great germination within the 10-15 day window but the seedling stems are kind of long (a little above soil level) and the stems are skinny. the tiny leaves are sticking up. Did i mess up my 2nd batch? I promptly removed the heat, dome and put a fan on them to take the soil from soggy to moist.

Do you use the Root Shield Plus WP? I cannot find a link to the product you used. Thank you for such great tips!
