Just got a Vinca plant given for Mother's day with a couple of flowers on it, a small glass container, when should I water it and transfer to a large pot?
watched a lot of videos..;still going through them...gr8 series.. . is there a reason to first seed in flats and then transplant to 6 packs?.. isn't it better on the roots to directly plant them in the 6 packs and let them get the true leaves?
Thank you for the video. I just bought nine plants...3" pots and put all in one large pot. Hope they look pretty on the patio. I live in SW Florida... will they last year round? Thanks.
hello. i just bought vinca plants which are already flowered so they seem to be about a month ols. I do not know ANYTHING about flowers but i really do want to take care of them. could you tell me what kind of soil and fertilizer should i use for them, i would be really grateful. I have the lavinder vinca. thank you.
Hi, I fertilize my plants after transplanted.. at least - 2-4 leaves.. Vinca has a tendency to yellow if low on iron.. so get a fertilizer that contains some iron.. I don't recall the name of the fertilizer I used years ago.. but here is some info for you: Fertilizers that are high in iron include iron sulfates, chelated iron, iron supplements, blood meal, compost, and manure. Some of these will affect soil pH, so keep this in mind when you apply them, and get a soil test before doing so.
How long do you leave the sprouts under cover of darkness before you put them under lights?..They are just starting to sproat but I still kept them covered.
Hi Sue, it varies.. If I see many germinating I put under lights, if just a few I wait a day or more .. Usually many will germinate anyway once you move them under lighting provided they have moisture..
you can.. I am growing for my business.. easier to bulk seed this way then transplant out. at least worked good for me..I never had root problems , just let them rest a day and they are fine..
How old is too old to transplant vincs? I just added them to a wall sconce. They were huge and overwhelming in the pot I took them out of. It's AUGUST, hot out, but not in direct sun
Your video is very informative and interesting. Thank you for the information. Can you suggest a form of iron for my vincas? I normally use a 20-20-20 fertilizer. Can molasses work?
My vincas are about to weeks old smaller then yours in the video but they are really close together. Can I use some tweezers and go ahead and transplant them into some styrofoam cups
my vince is just started to sprout --yhey have been in the dark -- question how much longer in the dark -- they are in 6 pack when should i thin them-- when to transplant to my beds
until they germinate, you can transplant after they have their first true leaves.. Plant outside when your temp at night and day is above 60 degrees... they love heat!
How long does it typically take to get their first true leaves? I have about 6 flats of seedlings all doing well they just seem to be taking forever to get those true leaves
your videos teach me so much . I really enjoy watching them. thank you

Any suggestions on transplanting to a flower bed after this step you've demonstrated?

+ankita urala two things Vinca hates is too wet and too cold.. eliminating these too factors you will have success ...
What kind of fertilizer that to be used for vinca and how and when to apply?

@markelious , no they are also called periwinkles..

+Sheryl Ellis when I was growing for the public I used Jacks petunia feed..
I havevicas growing in a big area and i wonder will theirfallen seeds germinate and new seedlings come out automatically next spring ?
sometimes they may.. but I did not notice it much in my area
What fungicide do you drench your seedlings in
To be honest I don't remember I just searched for some either online or local .. any brand should be fine..
My vincas are about to weeks old smaller then yours in the video but they are really close together. Can I use some tweezers and go ahead and transplant them into some styrofoam cups
yes carefully remove them and transplant..
just be careful not to break off the stem..
Vincas and Periwinkles is there a difference?

must stay above 50 degrees, 60 would be better yet..
Where do you get the seeds??
You should be able to get seeds anywhere.. you can try amazon here amzn.to/3qtALfU
did u sell vinca seeds?
Hi Luis, no I don't seed selling is too competitive..
I brought mine indoors and it died
