Growing instructions:

Sowing period – from early March to the end of July.

1. Place the pellet in the pot and add 2–3 cm of water. Wait 30–60 minutes until the pellet absorbs the water and expands to its full size of approximately 7–8 cm.

2. Place the seeds on top of the pellet and cover them with a few millimetres of its growing medium.

3. The seeds germinate within 10–20 days at temperatures of 15–20°C. Edelweiss is drought-tolerant and does not tolerate excessive moisture. Water when the growing medium has dried out. After germination in the pellet, add rocky or sandy soil to the pot. The plant tolerates low temperatures down to -30°C and does not require winter protection.
