Lisianthus

Water: Light

Fertilize: Every two weeks

General Information: 

Here are some key steps to successfully grow lisianthus:

1. Choosing the Right Location

Lisianthus thrives in full sun, so select a location in your garden that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. Ensure the soil is well-draining and rich in organic matter.

2. Outdoor Planting

After the danger of frost has passed you can transplant them into your garden. Space the plants about 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper airflow and growth.

3. Watering and Fertilizing

Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering, as lisianthus is susceptible to root rot. Water the plants at the base to prevent wetting the foliage. Apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every two weeks to promote healthy growth and abundant blooms.

4. Pest and Disease Control

Monitor your lisianthus plants regularly for common pests such as aphids, spider mites, and thrips. If necessary, use organic insecticides or insecticidal soaps to control infestations. Proper spacing and good airflow can help prevent fungal diseases.
