HOW TO GERMINATE RED CONVOLVULUS TRICOLOR SEEDS: 

Sow the seeds directly into the soil in the spring once the soil has warmed up. Alternatively, you can start the seeds indoors in pots 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date. Use well-draining soil for germination. Convolvulus tricolor prefers a slightly alkaline soil with a pH between 7.0 and 7.5. Convolvulus tricolor prefers warm temperatures for germination. During germination, keep the soil temperature around 65 to 75°F (18 to 24°C). Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water the soil gently and avoid disturbing the seeds. 

Placement: Place the seed container or pot in a sunny location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. The seeds usually take 7-14 days to germinate.

CARE FOR RED CONVOLVULUS TRICOLOR PLANTS AFTER GERMINATION

Water the plants regularly to keep the soil evenly moist. Convolvulus tricolor prefers slightly moist soil but can't tolerate waterlogged soil. It requires full sun to thrive, so they get at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Convolvulus tricolor doesn't need much fertilizer, but you can apply a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer once a month during the growing season to encourage healthy growth. Watch for common pests like aphids, spider mites, and whiteflies. They are also susceptible to fungal diseases like powdery mildew, so avoid overhead watering and provide good air circulation around the plants to prevent infection.
