• Botanical name: Viola x wittrockiana
• Care level: Moderate
• Expected germination time: 10-15 days 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 — About 0.3 cm; it likes darkness for germination — cover 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 (full sun). Protect young seedlings from harsh afternoon sun.
5. Under suitable conditions, sprouts usually appear in 10-15 days.

Light, water, soil and feeding

• Light: Full sun
• Water: Keep the soil evenly moist — pansies do not tolerate drought.
• Soil: Rich, moist, well-draining soil with compost.
• Temperature: 10–22°C ideal. The plant fails above 30°C — which is why it is only a winter crop.
• Fertiliser: A light balanced feed every 2–3 weeks.

Sowing season in India

September-October (North India winter crop). Exact timing depends on your local temperature and conditions.

Common problems

Collapse in heat; damping-off in over-wet seedling trays; aphids.
