The Biggest Bacopa Seed Starting Mistakes to Avoid
Growing bacopa from seed is one of the best ways to create beautiful hanging baskets and overflowing containers, but a few simple mistakes can dramatically reduce germination rates.
Many gardeners struggle with bacopa seeds because they accidentally create conditions that prevent sprouting. The good news is that most problems are easy to fix.
Some of the biggest mistakes include:
🌱 Soil temperatures that are too cold
🌱 Poor seed-starting mix
🌱 Overwatering seedlings
🌱 Planting seeds too deeply
🌱 Not providing enough light
Bacopa seeds are tiny and need light to germinate properly. They should be surface sown, kept consistently moist, and maintained at soil temperatures around 70–75°F for the best results.
Using a quality seed-starting mix and providing bright light early can dramatically improve germination and seedling growth.
If you're growing bacopa for hanging baskets, patio containers, or greenhouse production, these small adjustments can make a huge difference.
