Gavrisch Hydrangea Seeds - Aqua Drops
The Mutant Plant That Saved My Sanity (and Your Design Career)
summarizeEditor's Summary
I'm stoked to share my third attempt at growing Hypoestes, and I've got to say, it was a total success. I got a 100% germination rate, and the mutant plant that stood out with its bright magenta hue was the real showstopper. The seeds from Gavish were a breeze to work with, and the price was super reasonable. Now, I'll be honest, it's not perfect - two seedlings bit the dust after using fungicide - but I'm glad one beautiful little sprout remained. If you're looking for a low-maintenance plant to brighten up your space, I highly recommend giving Gavish Hypoestes a try. Just be prepared for the possibility of getting the same color pattern, and don't be afraid to experiment with different growing conditions. I've learned that Hypoestes is a great plant for boosting your mood, and it's relatively easy to care for. Just make sure to check the soil moisture regularly and avoid overwatering.
