scape 1. n. 1. Botany A leafless flower stalk growing directly from the ground, as in the tulip. 2. Biology A stalklike part, such as a feather shaft or the first segment of an insect's antenna.
Propagation: The sensitive plant is most often grown from seeds. Pink flowers produce seeds. Sow the seeds in moist peat moss and perlite, and place clear plastic above the planting medium, as seeds need a lot of moisture to sprout. Expect the seeds to sprout in 14 to 21 days.
This is important for the home indoor grower because the light period, or photoperiod, of the plant must be controlled. What this simply means is that a pot plant must be placed in 12+ hours of light every day in order to keep the plant from flowering. Well, in truth, you could do that. But if an immature plant flowers too early, there wonât be much harvest to be had. Ideally, a pot plant need to grow, or âvegetate,â for at least a few weeks before flowering. Otherwise, the harvesting of itâs fruit will be extremely disappointing.
