Growing Silene Capensis - I Need Advice
    #14163859 - 03/22/11 10:29 AM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Hey everyone, new member here and I hope to be contributing to these forums in the near future :smile:

I have recently developed an interest for ethnobotanicals, specifically cultivation.  I have started off with growing Silene Capensis and Calea Zacatechichi, but this post will be specific to Silene.

After one week of sowing the seeds, 6 out of the 10 germinated, and almost another week later they are about 1-2'' tall.  I live in Canada and plan to grow everything indoors.  It's fairly low humidity in my house for most of the year, so I've been misting the soil about 3 times a day to keep it moist.

I've been growing them under a light that I used to use in an aquarium (mainly for the heat) so they are at around 26 degrees celcius (78.8 F), and room temperature overnight which is around 21 degrees celcius (69.8 F). 

A few inquiries though - will it be okay to put them near a window sill where they will be around 16 degrees celcius (60.8 F) until the weather gets warmer?  How often should I water them?  Should I let the soil dry out between watering, or if it gets dried out, how long can it stay dry?  Lastly, how big does silene capensis get?  I'm curious to know how big of a pot I'll need to buy (I want a pot that will be large enough to hold silene capensis when it's full grown).

Thanks in advance for any helpful advice!  Please feel free to ask any questions as well and I'll do my best to answer them.

I grow about small plants (Silene) in South Cal. I keep them in a room now is around 10~15C at night they're doin fine. The supposedly to need plenty of mositure but mine kept a bit dry between watering and working well properly b'cuz it still cool rather than hot recently.
