CANNA Terra Seed Mix

CANNA Terra Seed Mix is a potting mix that is perfectly suited for germinating the seeds of your favourite plants. It works great in combination with CANNA Start.

Advantages of CANNA Terra Seed Mix

The homogeneous, stable structure of Terra Seed Mix is great for retaining water, which gives the seeds the best chance of germinating correctly
CANNA Terra Seed Mix is also particularly suitable for use when rooting cuttings

Directions of Use

Sowing in Terra Seed Mix

Sow the seeds 2-3 mm deep (max. 5 mm) in the CANNA Terra Seed Mix in a container that has a maximum diameter of 5 cm. Spray the growing medium regularly. Seedlings first use the energy reserves that are available in the seed.

Keep the seeds warm (20-25°C) and moist using a propagator for example. Remove the propagator’s lid as soon as the seedlings emerge from the ground.

Young seedlings

The young seedlings are very delicate so do not place them in direct sunlight or close to a powerful growing lamp since this may burn them. Give the young plants a feeding solution that has a low EC (1.2) and add CANNA Rhizotonic to strengthen the roots. The seedlings are ready to be potted out when they have developed two or three leaves.

Growing outdoors

Even though it is possible to sow seeds directly in the ground and let them germinate there, the success rate is appreciably lower than when this process is carried out inside. Ground temperatures outside do not provide ideal circumstances for germinating seeds. Place the seedlings that have emerged on a spot where they can acclimatise to the conditions outside, on the balcony, for example.

Begin by germinating inside. Place the seedlings that have emerged on a spot where they can acclimatise to the conditions outside.

Cuttings and further

Once the plants have developed a good root system in the CANNA Terra Seed Mix they can be transferred to a growing medium such as CANNA Terra Professional, CANNA Terra Professional Plus, CANNA Coco substrates (Natural/Professional Plus), CANNA Aqua Clay Pebbles or rock wool where they will be cultivated to maturity. CANNA’s range of nutrients includes the best specific combinations for each of these growing mediums that will guarantee an optimum harvest.
