Micro Sinningia Seeds

Sinningia Consinna Seropedica is a diminutive species that belongs to Gesneriad family and a relative to African Violets and Cape Primroses (Streptocarpus). It is a cute thimble-size tuberous plant that blooms all year round. Very easy to grow from seeds and care about. Comes true from seeds.

The seeds are very tiny, dust-like and need to be handles with care. There are approximately 20 seeds in a package or more. All our seeds are tested for germination.

Mailing is world wide by regular mail envelope (no tracking) or tracked Signature-required envelope USA & Canada only (if you buy more then one variety, please choose this option of delivery only ONCE).

To Canada and USA it might take up to 10-14 business days, to other parts of the world it can take even a month or two. I do not have any control over this.

If you buy 5 or more varieties I will send you a gift pack of seeds of your choice of same or lesser value (please indicate your preference and a second choice).

To grow Sinningia from seeds you can use a shallow container filled with peat moss mixed with Perlite (with no fertilizer added) 1:1 or seed starter mix. It should be wet but not soggy.

Using a pot bottom lightly press to flatten the soil so it's not too porous. You do not want seeds to fall into a slight hole or crevice and not get light. They need the bright light to germinate.

Spread your seeds evenly on top of your soil by tapping on your hand holding the package and cover with transparent glass or put into plastic container. Place in well lit place and practice your patience :). Seedlings can start to emerge from 2-3 up to 8 weeks. From time to time you need to mist them using a spray bottle. When they are about 2 weeks old you can spread them out by gently lifting with a toothpick and placing them onto new place. Or simply put them back on the same spot if they are already at a good distance from each other. (if you are too scared to handle those tiny ones you can wait another little while till they grow a bit bigger). You can repeat the process every 2-3 weeks until it's time to transplant them into their individual containers. Surprisingly, this gentle root disturbance promotes the growth and you'll get them to bloom faster.

Micro Sinningia are so much fun to grow.

This is one of the ways to grow them.

Hope you enjoy this exciting process of growing this unusual tiny beauties from seeds to flowers :).
