Troubleshooting

Seeds not germinating

Ensure consistent temperature between 15-18°C and that the compost remains moist but not waterlogged. Check if seeds are covered lightly and not too deep. Be patient, as germination can take up to 30 days.

Seedlings are leggy and weak

Provide more light to the seedlings. Ensure they are not overcrowded. Consider transplanting them into individual pots once they have true leaves.

Plants wilting despite watering

This could indicate poor drainage. Check if the soil is waterlogged and has adequate drainage. Agastache prefers well-drained soil.

Pests on foliage

Inspect plants regularly for common garden pests. Handpick larger pests or use insecticidal soap for aphids if necessary. Healthy plants are more resistant.
