Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Lisianthus Voyage 2 Blue live plugs is straightforward, ensuring a bountiful display of their elegant blooms. These plants thrive with consistent attention to their specific needs. For optimal growth, provide a location with full sun to partial shade, meaning at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily, especially in cooler climates. In hotter regions, some afternoon shade can protect the delicate blooms from scorching. The ideal temperature range for these plants is moderate, and they are typically grown as annuals in cooler regions, although they can be perennials in USDA zones 8–10.

Lisianthus requires well-draining, fertile soil to prevent root rot. Amend heavy clay soils with organic matter to improve drainage. Maintain consistent soil moisture; the soil should be kept evenly moist but never waterlogged. Overwatering can be detrimental, so ensure proper drainage is in place. Fertilize with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the active growing season to support continuous blooming. Plant your Voyage 2 Blue lisianthus in the spring after the last frost, spacing them approximately 6–8 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth. Watch out for common pests like aphids and slugs, and address them promptly with organic pest control methods if necessary.
