I am so excited for your success with lisianthus. Looks like this year, you just may have even more beautiful flowers than in the past. You are certainly putting in the effort and dedication to do so.
Awesome!!! I learned first hand that potting up really can make a difference. Since space might be an issue, you could always pot up a few at a time for natural succession harvesting. Can’t wait to see the results. 🌸
They look great!! I have been potting up all my seedlings for years, and always get excellerated growth. I have tried different potting mixes and still the same result. I think it has to do with the air exposure to the roots during transplant and that also triggers the plants natural response to recover and you will get more rapid root growth, followed by better leaf development. I do all my transplants into screened peat moss in a 24 cell tray. That way i can keep them potted longer before planting in the field and if i sell them, that will give people more time to plan their gardening days between bad weather and work..!
Good to know about the wilt issue. I'm waiting on Farmer Bailey. Your lissies are AMAZING! I've had zinnias wilt in the middle of a row. I finally found out why. When I broke open the stem ...there was a tunneled out area where a bug had been. I pulled the plant hoping to get rid of eggs,etc. I only have a little over 1/2 acre; so when I see issues I just pull the plant. I've never seen the bug...the whole plant wilts. Can't wait to see the farm in all it's glory. I went Lissie nuts this yr....cut back on the dahlias. They don't always do well for me.
Yay! They are gorgeous! That's a lot of work but totally worth it. Hopefully, you can get that fusarium wilt problem under control. I did an experiment with some of last year's lisies. I dug them up and potted them trimmed down pretty small and waited. I am now getting good growth and they are getting taller! That means I can keep them as perennials! I'm so glad! We'll see if they bloom again this summer.
I hope you are keeping notes so you will remember what to do next season.God willing and the crick don't rise- you will have the best Lizzies yet! Can you feel it in the air? It's getting closer. Almost crunch time. 🌱😄🙃😃
After a rough day, it’s a quite a happy treat to find a new video uploaded. Nice way to relax. Glad u have a fix to keep the ickies from spreading thru the lizzies.
Congratulations on the lisianthus successes! I can't wait to see how they continue to perform this year. I love how you and Serina (from You Can't Eat the Grass) have such a knack for growing things from seed! Very informative. I love my little seedlings almost as much as you love yours. ;) Happy growing to you, Nicole, and to your entire community. I love to read the comments on your videos. Very positive and encouraging.
Congrats! I’m so excited for your success! Knowing how much work it takes to get these to market makes me appreciate the flower farmers out there even MORE than I already do!!!! Thanks for sharing all your info and give yourself a huge pat on the back!🌸🌞🌸
You have bragging rights! They look amazing!! I just potted mine up - planted the same week as you and mine are about the size of your second one you showed! I'm hoping bumping them up will help grow like yours!! WOOOHOO!
Thank you Nicole, I am amazed how beautiful they look! I probably should have started mine weeks ago but so much for hindsight! Right now mine are about 1/8 inch and because I have so much algae on my soil surface I almost didn’t see them! I have about 12 tiny babies that I can see and will continue to watch them! I will go back and watch your original videos so I can see what you did! I’m definitely not giving up yet! Thank you for letting me drool over your beautiful babies! Praying that the fusillium is vanquished! 🙏❤️🤗
I did it again. (NOT an oops.) I watched 📺 👀 a WHOLE commercial. 😖 😵💫 🎀 special 🎀 ❤ just for you. ❤ 🎈 No other reason. 🎈 Soooo... 🤷🏼♀️ 🎁 Happy Birthday? 🎁 (Yes, I know.) (It's NOT your birthday today.) (Nevertheless, you've gotten a birthday gift! 🎂) Edit: I was also #500 on the 👍 LIKE BUTTON and THAT felt kinda neat too! why DOES that feel neat... ??! It's just a silly number... All rounded With a double O Plus - EXACTLY half of a HUMONGOUS number too ~ Not to be confused with a very LARGE NUMBER 2 ~ oh my, now that last line ☺️ izzz makin' me blush... 🤭 I should stop before it gets worse! HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIZZIE GIRL!
You brag girl!!! You should be proud! They look beautiful! Hoping you don't have any more issues. 😬 So jealous of your bedmaker! One day.... one day I'll have one.
Thank you so much for this video. This is my first year trying Lizzies. Mine are 11 wks old now and some have third leaves. I didn't know about up potting so I will do that tomorrow. Mine are now out in my unheated greenhouse and have done much better than when they were inside under lights.
My Lisianthus are nearly 9 weeks old. Still fairly tiny. I’ve had my trays outside for weeks now since it’s warmer where I’m at. Just started fertilizing with miracle grow but I thought about getting the one you have. Also started some seeds late so here’s hoping they do well most of my first ones didn’t germinate.
Your lisianthus look great. I desperately need to pot mine up but I’m out of room. I need to move them to my unheated greenhouse and our temperatures are still low. When can they go outside to cooler temperatures? I put one flat out just to test it. I am loving the humidity you are getting. I am going to rearrange my seedling area next year so I can wrap my shelves in plastic. Thanks for the info.
I’m so disappointed in our spring this year! Actually winter and spring. So damn unusual cold winter (-16C is NOT what winter here should be, normally -1 to -5 at its worst and now we’re having a horrible cold snap, this morning it was -10C. 😣 Last frost date here is April 1-15 and I’m carrying plants in and out because of this cold weather we’re having until April 7th at least. I envy your hoop house, haven’t got mine. Yet.
They look great! I ordered from Farmer Bailey due to time and grow room size. So excited to plant. Thanks for passing on the fungicide info!! I just ordered Companion after watching your video!
Looking great!! Mine had to start outside in January!! They are way behind yours ,basically because they didn't get the loving care you gave yours!! I moved and practically ignored them. I started more and hadn't purchased lights yet! Now I can sow them earlier next season! Potting all plants up will increase their size! They grow to their environment
Congratulations!!!! Those are gorgeous!! Fingers crossed for no more wilt. I am using one of there Biologicals for Aphids (inside on seedlings) same deal $100 for a bag. The dilution is 1/8 of a teaspoon to 1/2 gallon so a smaller less &&& bag would be great. Maybe Ron will hear us and make packaging for smaller farmers???
I chatted with him via email and unfortunately it's not his choice! He said the manufacturer is no longer allowing smaller quantities! Maybe they will see there IS a demand so we will see!
Great that you experimented potting them up! Maybe I’ll do the same thing for my phlox since they seem to have stopped growing in their 128-cell. Thanks Nicole!
So I just have to share since you did your video about having Lizzie triplets… I got a package of I think it was 20 pelleted seeds of Black Pearl off Etsy or Amazon???, because I had poor germ with a few VERY well known companies that will remain nameless because, well “stuff happens.” Fast forward…the package of Black Pearl I germinated in 3/4” soil blocks and OMG! One, yes I said one (1)☝️of the (20) blocks produced 9 babies 😱 One other produced 6 and then I had a couple triplets and several twins! I just up potted them and they all look amazing! Not quite like yours, but you know…never give up!!! I can not wait to see these babies in the garden…and I don’t even like purple 🤷♀️ 😁
Your lisianthus look strong. Hopefully no more will become infected. I potted mine up to a 50 cell. It is as deep as a 38 but has 10 rows of 5 cells which makes labeling easier.
Nice! I've been doing one variety per tray and it's working out well for labeling. I did need to move some over to a 50 plug tray after running out of 38s!
🙋hi from Scotland ,hi I am trying to grow lisianthus for the fist time I am growing them n the house untill I can put them out in my unheated greenhouse the seeds were expenses you only get around nine in the packet they were so tiny they have germinated I think but they are so tiny you can hardly see them is this normal ,by the way you are amazing with all the different flowers you grow and I love your channel same here with the weather showing and hail all day I am praying I can get these wee seeds to grow I love lisianthus take care and good luck with the seedlings Anne Scott from Scotland 🌹💐💐
I tried starting some lisianthus for the first time this year. I had zero germinate. I knew they could be tricky. I didn't have them on a heat mat which was definitely a gamble. I just got a heat mat today and planted a the rest of my seeds just to see if they sprout.
By the time I Lisianthus come up, I’m so late it’s gonna be winter. I might as well plant them in a nursery pot and overwinter them for next season.😫🔥🔥😂🐝💨💨
Thanks for the info! Ouf, Rootshield would not be an option for me. I have some Lisianthus that will be too big! Maybe it's important to be careful which size pot you use.
I suspect that my coffee tree has fusarium... or some sort of fungal infection. I think it was some insect vector as it showed up after I had a devastating outbreak of mealbug -- which really love coffee trees. I am definitely going to try the RootShield and see if that has a greater efficacy than the Bonide Revitalize. The Revitalize has been working, but I think it just slowing it down rather than eliminating it like the RootShield will because the RootShield contains a bacteria that attacks the fusarium. $125 is worth it to keep my tree alive and return to its vigorous old self. FYI, for anyone indoors... I know we all like to try and stay as organic as possible... but if you got a bad mealybug problem and your tired of spraying neem because you feasibly cannot spray enough... just use the chemicals and KILL THEM ALL. My tree is 8 ft tall by 3 feet wide, ain't no way I could every spray enough neem :-D
My first successful season with starting with the answers indoors because of your help Nicole. I was just wondering do you harden the Lizzie's off before planting?
These are amazing. I am just discovering the challenges of Lisi's. I got a bag of root shield... trying to understand how to use it for my seedlings. Did you dip the roots in the powder when you potted them up? Or did you water the seedlings w/ a ratio? The 8 oz for 100 Gal. is intimidating to get it right on a smaller scale! Grateful for any tips! (tho I know you're SUPER busy with the greenhouse project!)
Dang I'm impressed 👏 . I'm gonna do the same thing, I'll be late planting them but oh well. Question do the grow lights have to say T8, T5, does it have to have a T lol. I seen some bulbs for my metal rack but it don't say T and a num?
High nicole.... Im lea ...an avid fan of urs ...im from Philippines...i wanna ask something....where do u bought ur unpelleted lisianthus seeds,and i hope that i can buy those seeds even if im from Philippines 😇🙏😍
I don’t have a moisture set up like you do . Can I still grow Lisianthus under lights , without it ? Also , where do you get your 38 plug trays that you potted up into ? Your site just shows 50 and 100
Help! Three of my lizzies have spots. I took off the leaves in question and isolated from the others. I bought the Root Shield you have and used in the plug tray soil as a preventative. My question is what is the amount to use for 1 gallon of water? I only have 2 trays. I was thinking a 1/4 of a teaspoon. Thoughts?
Do you think potting them up kept them moister for longer than a smaller cell tray? Trying to figure why that helped….other than just more room for roots to spread?
I think it was the space for growth combined with the ideal conditions of the grow room. They were never too dry in the 128 trays, I have a twice daily routine of checking moisture in every plant tray/cell. The only difference is space!
I planted Lizzies for the first time last year. I thought they all died but now I have 10 (I only planted 15) really healthy plants coming back up thru the dead looking spent leaves. I am in zone 7a, NW Arkansas in the Ozark Mountains. I hope that helps!
I planted my lisianthus seeds 7-8 weeks ago and although they're starting to get their true leaves, they're still barely bigger than a speck! Am I doing something wrong? I don't have high hopes for getting lisianthus flowers this year 😞
@@mmladyg they're already in 2¼" pots 🤔 but I started them in there, so it's probably too big for them, but I'd love for someone to tell me why too big of a pot is bad for them 🤷♀️
The reason the big pot is not so good is technical, but kind of the same reason you don't plant tiny seeds straight in the garden. The top layer of soil heats and cools faster during the day and, the same in a big pot. Its hard to keep a constant temp and soil moisture in it vs. The seed trays that only have 1" of soil in a black plastic tray. Also you will find that the main roots will develop but have very little secondary roots which is responsible for micro nutrient uptake. I a small pot the plant is limited and is forced to put out secondary roots to support itself. Hope this helps.
You should brag, those look amazing!!! Great job!!
You double, triple + EARNED those Lissie braggin' rights!!! Yaaaay YOU!!! Loving all you share from North Idaho zone 6a 💚 🌻 🌿
I am so excited for your success with lisianthus. Looks like this year, you just may have even more beautiful flowers than in the past. You are certainly putting in the effort and dedication to do so.

Plants grow according to their pot size. The bigger the pot the more fertilizer the soil can hold so the plants can get bigger

Oh my goodness! They are beautiful! I think I am going to have give up trying to grow them. 😢
Your are so awesome!!!! Your lisianthus are gorgeousssss 🤗💗
I tried starting some lisianthus for the first time this year. I had zero germinate. I knew they could be tricky. I didn't have them on a heat mat which was definitely a gamble. I just got a heat mat today and planted a the rest of my seeds just to see if they sprout.
Heat mats and grow lights have definitely been a game changer for me especially things like lisianthus that take a long time to grow.
By the time I Lisianthus come up, I’m so late it’s gonna be winter. I might as well plant them in a nursery pot and overwinter them for next season.😫🔥🔥😂🐝💨💨
Thanks for the info! Ouf, Rootshield would not be an option for me.
I have some Lisianthus that will be too big! Maybe it's important to be careful which size pot you use.
Arnosky Farms had Lisianthus plants with buds on them 12 inches tall. I bought 50.
They are AMAZING growers!
That very last part🤣🤣🤣
If you in future pot on half and leave half will that give you a longer season when planting out/flowering?
I suspect that my coffee tree has fusarium... or some sort of fungal infection. I think it was some insect vector as it showed up after I had a devastating outbreak of mealbug -- which really love coffee trees. I am definitely going to try the RootShield and see if that has a greater efficacy than the Bonide Revitalize. The Revitalize has been working, but I think it just slowing it down rather than eliminating it like the RootShield will because the RootShield contains a bacteria that attacks the fusarium.
$125 is worth it to keep my tree alive and return to its vigorous old self. FYI, for anyone indoors... I know we all like to try and stay as organic as possible... but if you got a bad mealybug problem and your tired of spraying neem because you feasibly cannot spray enough... just use the chemicals and KILL THEM ALL. My tree is 8 ft tall by 3 feet wide, ain't no way I could every spray enough neem :-D
My first successful season with starting with the answers indoors because of your help Nicole. I was just wondering do you harden the Lizzie's off before planting?
So much for dictating with garden gloves on. That was supposed to say Lisianthus, NOT answers! Ha ha
These are amazing. I am just discovering the challenges of Lisi's. I got a bag of root shield... trying to understand how to use it for my seedlings. Did you dip the roots in the powder when you potted them up? Or did you water the seedlings w/ a ratio? The 8 oz for 100 Gal. is intimidating to get it right on a smaller scale! Grateful for any tips! (tho I know you're SUPER busy with the greenhouse project!)
Dang I'm impressed 👏 . I'm gonna do the same thing, I'll be late planting them but oh well. Question do the grow lights have to say T8, T5, does it have to have a T lol. I seen some bulbs for my metal rack but it don't say T and a num?

Hey! It ain't bragging if you can do it!!
How about Thrips, any seen this year? Hope not... But you know what you're looking for now..
Not one! So thankful. Lots of fungus gnats though.
could you just plant the seed in 38 trays to start? or is there a benifit to starting in the smaller size.
How much rootshield per gallon of water do you use?
Thanks
I don’t have a moisture set up like you do . Can I still grow Lisianthus under lights , without it ? Also , where do you get your 38 plug trays that you potted up into ? Your site just shows 50 and 100
Plant in the greenhouse , i do
It's FULL!
Where did you get the trays that you potted up the Lizzies in
Johnny's
Help! Three of my lizzies have spots. I took off the leaves in question and isolated from the others. I bought the Root Shield you have and used in the plug tray soil as a preventative. My question is what is the amount to use for 1 gallon of water? I only have 2 trays. I was thinking a 1/4 of a teaspoon. Thoughts?
I did 1/4 plus 1/8th to get as close as possible to .4 tsp without having too much
Ok…will do! Hope it works…so disheartening being so close to planting. Ugh!
Ugh I wish they were selling the smaller packages still. :(
I know, I reached out this morning because I was bummed. The price was SO good!
Do you think potting them up kept them moister for longer than a smaller cell tray? Trying to figure why that helped….other than just more room for roots to spread?
I think it was the space for growth combined with the ideal conditions of the grow room. They were never too dry in the 128 trays, I have a twice daily routine of checking moisture in every plant tray/cell. The only difference is space!
I planted over 200 lisis and I can see that bumping them up would really help, but man! I don't have any space left! How cold tolerant are they?
They’re cold hardy. Can handle temps in the mid 20s typically in my experience
@@FlowerHillFarm I need to get mine outside, then! I'll start hardening them off! Thank you!

I planted my lisianthus seeds 7-8 weeks ago and although they're starting to get their true leaves, they're still barely bigger than a speck! Am I doing something wrong? I don't have high hopes for getting lisianthus flowers this year 😞
And I do have them under about 14-16 hours of grow lights every day, they're moist but not soggy, and they're not too warm
Me too, Ema Boo! May have to follow suit and pot up. :)
@@mmladyg they're already in 2¼" pots 🤔 but I started them in there, so it's probably too big for them, but I'd love for someone to tell me why too big of a pot is bad for them 🤷♀️
Lizzies take a long time to grow I don't think you are doing anything wrong. I planted mine Dec 15th and they are only as big as loonies
The reason the big pot is not so good is technical, but kind of the same reason you don't plant tiny seeds straight in the garden. The top layer of soil heats and cools faster during the day and, the same in a big pot. Its hard to keep a constant temp and soil moisture in it vs. The seed trays that only have 1" of soil in a black plastic tray. Also you will find that the main roots will develop but have very little secondary roots which is responsible for micro nutrient uptake. I a small pot the plant is limited and is forced to put out secondary roots to support itself.
Hope this helps.
