Instructions
To grow Maltese Cross plants from seed, start by filling seed trays or pots with well-draining potting mix and gently press it down. Scatter the small seeds evenly on the surface without covering them, then mist the soil to keep it moist. Cover the trays with plastic wrap to retain warmth, placing them in a warm location (around 68-70Β°F). Check daily for moisture and signs of germination, removing the cover once seedlings appear in 14-21 days. Provide bright, indirect light and thin seedlings to 2-3 inches apart. Once true leaves develop and frost risk is gone, harden off the seedlings before transplanting them 12-18 inches apart in a sunny garden spot. Do not cover. Needs light to germinate. 21 to 28 days.
