Slipper Flower (Calceolaria Herbeohybrida Fascination Mix) - Whether you call this annual Slipper Flower, Slipperwort, Lady Slipper, or Pocketbook Plant, this little plant is amazing and very exotic. Grown from Slipper Flower seeds, this flower is great for indoors or outdoors. Blooms will start opening when the plant is just 5 inches tall, and they are the brightest and most unusual blooms you will ever find. Slipper Flower Calceolaria only reaches 8 inches in height, so it's perfect for a windowsill or any indoor location receiving bright, filtered light. Grow Calceolaria Lady Slipper outdoors as well. The plants would perform better in regions with mild summers.
Grown indoors or out, Slipperwort Calceolaria plants should be watered well throughout the growth process and fertilized every 3 - 4 weeks. If growing indoors, water very sparingly during winter. Water at the base of the plant as water droplets can cause unsightly marks on the blooms.
How To Grow Calceolaria From Seed: Sow Slipper Flower seeds indoors in small peat pots. Use quality starter mix that is well-draining. Pre-moisten the mix, sow the Calceolaria seeds on the surface but do not cover. Use a spray bottle to mist the flower seeds to keep them moist but not saturated. Slipper Flower seeds will produce blooming plants in 4 1/2 months from sowing.
