How to Grow 'Lemon Slice' Calibrachoa from Seeds

1. Sowing Indoors:

   • Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost.
   • Use a well-draining seed-starting mix in small pots or trays.
   • Lightly press seeds into the soil but do not cover—they need light to germinate.
   • Keep the soil moist and maintain a temperature of 70-75°F.

2. Transplanting Outdoors:

   • Once seedlings are 2-3 inches tall and after the danger of frost has passed, harden them off by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions.

3. Care & Maintenance:

   • Water consistently, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
