Germination of
Calceolaria Fothergillii
Darwin's Purse Slipper - Slipper Orchid, Lady's Slipper, Pouch Flower
To germinate Calceolaria Fothergillii, the seeds should be sown in a seedling tray filled with a well-draining potting mix. The seeds should be lightly pressed onto the surface of the soil and covered with a thin layer of soil. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged and place the tray in a bright, warm location, such as near a window or under grow lights. The ideal temperature range for germination is 60-65�F (15-18�C).
Some of plants may have very have specific germination requirements that may not be covered in these general instructions.
Many seeds require pre-treatment before sowing which we try to list here when we can, but this information may not be present here. Germination times and germination temperatures are to be a guide only. Many factors can DRASTICALLY affect this.
It's always a good idea to research the specific germination requirements from multiple sources for each plant before attempting to grow them from seed.
