Indoor care

Stargazer lilies, like other lily varieties, can grow indoors with proper care. Indoor care for stargazer lilies begins with choosing the correct container. It needs to be deep and have sufficient drainage holes. Avoid shallow pots or those without drainage holes, such as ceramic pots. Likewise, you must use well-draining soil to avoid overwatering. Stargazer lilies enjoy moist soil, but they don’t tolerate standing water. Soil that is rich in organic matter is ideal.

Growing gorgeous lisianthus flowers

Roses are gorgeous, but their thorns can make them challenging to care for without proper gloves. If you want striking rose flowers without the risk of getting scratched, you’ll be happy to know that such a flower does exist! Lisianthus, a flower that grows natively from the southern U.S. to the northern countries of South America, looks shockingly similar to a rose, minus the thorns. While it can be tricky to grow, patience and dedication can help you keep these lovely flowers happy and healthy. Here’s what you need to know to grow lisianthus in your garden.
Planting lisianthus flowers

Lisianthus flowers can start from seed, but this is often the more challenging way to grow lisianthus. These plants take a fairly long time to grow, needing 4 to 5 months before they begin to bloom, so seeds need to start early. Start seeds 8 to 10 months before your last frost date. Do not bury the seeds deeply and don't plant more than one per container. Lisianthus roots damage easily, especially when they're young, so planting more than one seed per container can make transplanting them especially difficult. Keep the seeds warm, ideally in the mid to low 70s (Fahrenheit). The soil should be moist, but not wet, or else seeds can rot or develop fungal infections. Once the seedlings have two full sets of leaves, they are ready for transplant.
