Blooming Trails: Vinca Grow Box

Growing Vinca from seeds using the provided materials can result in beautiful, low-maintenance flowers in your garden. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you:
1. Prepare the Pot 
- Fill the pot with the ready-to-use potting mix, leaving some space at the top to accommodate watering.

2. Sow the Seeds 
- Sow Vinca seeds on the surface of the potting mix evenly.
- Lightly press the seeds into the soil, ensuring good soil contact.

3. Watering 
- Water the soil gently until it is evenly moist but not waterlogged. Use a watering can with a fine spray nozzle or a spray bottle.
- Keep the soil consistently moist until the seeds germinate, which typically takes around 10-14 days.

4. Location 
- Place the pot in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. Vinca plants prefer full sun but can tolerate some shade.
- Ensure they receive at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily.

5. Nutrification 
- Once the seedlings have emerged and developed a few sets of true leaves, dilute the concentrated root fertilizer according to the package instructions and apply it to the soil.
- Additionally, use the plant nutrifier spray to provide supplementary nutrients to the growing plants.

6. Maintenance 
- Monitor the moisture level of the soil regularly and water as needed to keep it consistently moist but not waterlogged.
- Use the scraper tool to gently remove any weeds or debris from the surface of the soil without disturbing the seedlings.
- Apply the bug deterrence powder around the base of the plants to deter pests. Follow the instructions on the package for proper application.

7. Thinning 
- Once the seedlings have grown to about 2-3 inches tall, thin them out to ensure proper spacing. Vinca plants should ideally be spaced about 6-12 inches apart.

8. Ongoing Care 
- Continue to water the seedlings regularly, especially during hot or dry weather.
- Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming.
- Fertilize the plants with a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks to promote healthy growth and flowering.

### Tips
- Vinca plants are relatively low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established.
- Avoid overwatering as Vinca plants prefer well-draining soil.
- Enjoy the vibrant and long-lasting blooms of Vinca as they grow, which can add beauty to your garden or containers.

By following these steps and using the provided materials, you should be able to successfully grow Vinca from seeds. Happy gardening!
