• Botanical name: Viola × wittrockiana
• Care level: Moderate
• Expected germination time: 10–15 days at 15–20C; darkness helps germination under suitable conditions*

How to Grow

1. Fill a seedling tray or small pot with a fine, clean, well-draining seed-starting mix.
2. Sow at the right depth — 3–5 mm, covered lightly.
3. Water gently with a spray bottle so the seeds are not displaced. Keep the medium moist, not waterlogged.
4. Place the tray where it gets the right light for this plant (partial sun). Protect young seedlings from harsh afternoon sun.
5. Under suitable conditions, sprouts usually appear in 10–15 days at 15–20C; darkness helps germination.
