Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and cover with a thin layer of vermiculite or fine soil; do not bury deeply. Maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) and keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 7-14 days. Provide bright light after seedlings emerge to encourage sturdy growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce seedlings have developed several true leaves and all danger of frost has passed, harden them off gradually and transplant outdoors. Space plants 12-18 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry between waterings. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer to promote continuous blooming. Deadhead spent flowers to maintain appearance and encourage new buds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Caliente Orange Geranium seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795618529590,"sku":"FOLIA2-698","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7408442919_3w96.jpg?v=1792672002","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-caliente-orange-geranium-seeds-bright-orange-zonal-ivy-hybrid-for-gardens-hanging-baskets","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
