Planting Instructions

Seed Preparation:

Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting to soften the hard seed coat and enhance germination.

Sowing:

Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost.

Plant seeds 1 inch deep in individual pots filled with a seed starting mix.

Maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) for optimal germination.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate in 14-21 days.

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.

Provide ample light, such as placing the pots under grow lights or in a sunny window.

Transplanting:

Transplant seedlings outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed.

Space plants 3-4 feet apart to allow for their mature size.

Choose a location with full sun and well-draining soil rich in organic matter.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly to keep the soil moist, especially during dry periods.

Mulch around the plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.

Fertilize monthly with a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) to support growth.

Protect young plants from strong winds, as Ricinus can be top-heavy.

Watch for pests such as aphids and spider mites; treat with insecticidal soap if needed.

Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming and prevent self-seeding.

By following these detailed instructions, you can successfully grow the striking and ornamental Ricinus 'Carmencita Bright Red' in your garden.
