which significantly slow down its growth and development. In highly acidified

Planting eustoma seeds

If you start dividing the flower, none of the seedlings will take root,
because their root system is very sensitive to any
mechanical stress. Eustoma cuttings also do not root – with

pressing them with a toothpick. Do not dig in the seeds, because

• Cover the container with cling film or bag to
create a mini-greenhouse.
