Use sterilized soil or a commercial seedling mix, plus low nutritional fertilizer. Cover seeds with 1\/4 in\/6 mm of fine soil. Ideal soil temperature of 72 - 76°F\/22 - 24°C must be maintained for 4 or 5 days. Use bottom heat if you have it - if you don't, this means that your air temperature will have to be a constant 85°F\/29°C to maintain about 75?F\/24?C soil temperature. Cover seed flats with plastic after soaking with warm water. The plastic should be removed in 4 or 5 days. On sunny days, remove plastic, or seed will cook!. Lower night air temperature at this point to about 60°F\/16°C to keep seedlings nice and short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRANSPLANTING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eshould be started as soon as the cotyledons have expanded (about 15 - 17 days after a Dec. 20th sowing. Transplant directly into 4 in\/10 cm pots using 1\/2 soil and 1\/2 seedling mix. Pots would be put on benches or pallets to keep them off the cold ground. Maintain a night air temperature of 72°F\/22°C for about 2 weeks to promote rooting. Reduce the temperature gradually over a period of 6 - 8 weeks after potting until a night temperature of 62°F\/17°C has been reached. Low temperatures (under 55°F\/17°C) will not allow the buds to open. Sunny day temperatures should reach 68 - 72°F\/20 - 22°C. Growth retardants should be applied to early sowings when seedlings reach the 4 leaf stage. Apply 2 applications of Cycocel 12 days apart. Maintain air temperatures at 60 - 65°F\/16 - 18°C. NOTE: Geranium breeders say that there is recent evidence to prove that excessive soil temperatures of 85°F\/29°C or more will prevent germination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDifficulty: \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEasy\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for Containers: \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYes\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for Small Pots: \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYes\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"50 Seeds","offer_id":48837684265203,"sku":"YN21030903-粉白天竺葵50粒","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0824\/4677\/8611\/files\/d2f1878adae3fd7c1191ad59b65a2846.jpg?v=1776244695","url":"https:\/\/joyfarmseed.com\/products\/maverick-appleblossom-geranium","provider":"Joyfarmseed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
