How to Use Canna Terra Seed Mix
Sowing Seeds in Canna Terra Seed Mix:
Sow your seeds 2-3mm deep (maximum 5mm) directly into the Canna Terra Seed Mix within a container, ideally with a maximum diameter of 5cm. Regularly spray the growing medium to maintain moisture. For best results, keep the seeds warm (20-25°C) and consistently moist using a propagator (find our range of propagators here). As soon as your seedlings emerge, remove the propagator's lid to allow for air circulation.Care for Young Seedlings:
Young seedlings are delicate and sensitive to direct sunlight or powerful grow lamps, which can cause burning. Provide your young plants with a low EC feeding solution (1.2). For enhanced root strength, consider adding Canna Rhizotonic to your feeding regimen. Once your seedlings have developed two or three true leaves, they are ready for transplanting.Cuttings and Further Cultivation:
Once your cuttings have established a strong root system within the Canna Terra Seed Mix, they are prepared for transfer. They can be confidently moved to a range of growing mediums such as Canna Terra Professional, Canna Terra Professional Plus, Canna Coco substrates (Natural / Professional Plus), Canna Aqua Clay Pebbles, or rock wool, where they can be cultivated to maturity. Canna offers specific nutrient combinations tailored to each of these growing mediums, guaranteeing an optimum harvest.Frequently Asked Questions
Is Canna Terra Seed Mix suitable for all types of seeds?
Yes, Canna Terra Seed Mix is a versatile substrate designed to support the germination of a wide variety of plant seeds, providing an ideal starting environment for most plant species.How often should I water seedlings in Canna Terra Seed Mix?
The watering frequency will depend on environmental conditions, but it's crucial to keep the Canna Terra Seed Mix consistently moist, not water-logged. Regular spraying is recommended, and checking the moisture level daily is a good practice.Can I reuse Canna Terra Seed Mix?
While it's generally recommended to use fresh Canna Terra Seed Mix for each new batch of seeds or cuttings to prevent potential issues like pathogen transfer or nutrient imbalances, some growers may choose to re-use it for less sensitive applications after proper sterilisation and amendment.What nutrients can I use with Canna Terra Seed Mix?
Canna Terra Seed Mix is low in nutrients, so begin feeding soon after germination/rooting. We recommend Canna Start, a gentle nutrient solution specifically for seedlings and young cuttings. For stronger roots, add Canna Rhizotonic. Once plants are larger, transition to a vegetative nutrient like Canna Terra Vega.SKU: 1058Free delivery on orders over £60*
