1 Pack - 20 seeds

Step-by-Step Guide
1. Seed Preparation
Cold Stratification (Recommended): While not always necessary, cold stratification can improve germination rates for Aster dumosus seeds. To cold stratify:
Mix the seeds with moist sand or a moistened paper towel.
Place them in a sealed plastic bag.
Refrigerate for 4-6 weeks before sowing. This process mimics the natural winter conditions that seeds experience before sprouting in spring.
2. Sowing Seeds
Indoor Sowing
Timing: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. This gives the seedlings a head start and ensures they are ready for transplanting outdoors.
Containers: Use seed trays or small pots with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
Soil: Use a well-draining seed starting mix. Asters prefer a light, airy mix that prevents waterlogging.
Planting Depth: Sow the seeds on the surface of the soil and press them gently into the soil. Cover lightly with a thin layer of soil or vermiculite, about 1/8 inch deep.
Watering: Moisten the soil with a spray bottle to keep it consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Outdoor Sowing
Timing: Sow seeds directly outdoors in early spring or late fall. Fall sowing allows seeds to naturally stratify over winter.
Location: Choose a spot with full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil.
Planting Depth: Scatter the seeds on the soil surface and cover lightly with soil, about 1/8 inch deep. Press the soil gently to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.
Watering: Water gently to keep the soil moist until seeds germinate.
3. Germination Conditions
Temperature: Maintain a soil temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C). Using a heat mat can help maintain consistent temperatures for indoor sowing.
Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Place indoor seed trays near a sunny window or under grow lights for at least 6-8 hours a day.
Moisture: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mist the soil surface with water if it starts to dry out. Covering the trays with clear plastic can help retain moisture and warmth, but remove the cover once seedlings emerge to prevent mold.
4. Germination Time
Expect germination in about 14-21 days under optimal conditions.
5. Seedling Care
Thinning: Once the seedlings are a few inches tall and have developed their first true leaves, thin them out to prevent overcrowding. Space them about 12-18 inches apart to ensure they have room to grow and good air circulation.
Light: Ensure seedlings receive plenty of light. If growing indoors, place them in a sunny window or under grow lights for at least 6-8 hours a day.
Watering: Continue to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Water gently to avoid displacing the seedlings.
6. Transplanting
Hardening Off
Timing: Begin hardening off seedlings about a week before transplanting them outdoors. This helps them acclimate to the outdoor environment and reduces transplant shock.
Method: Gradually expose the seedlings to outdoor conditions, starting with a few hours of sunlight per day and increasing the duration over several days.
Outdoor Planting
Timing: Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date and when they are sturdy enough to handle.
Location: Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Bushy Asters thrive in full sun but can tolerate partial shade.
Spacing: Space the plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for growth and airflow. This helps prevent disease and promotes healthy growth.
7. Ongoing Care
Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil moist, especially during dry spells. Asters prefer consistent moisture but do not like to be waterlogged. Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage.
Mulching: Apply a thin layer of mulch around the plants to help retain moisture and suppress weeds. This also helps maintain an even soil temperature.
Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer once in the spring. Avoid over-fertilizing, which can lead to lush foliage with fewer flowers.
Pruning: Pinch back the growing tips in early summer to encourage bushier growth and more blooms. Remove spent flowers to promote continuous blooming and prevent the plant from putting energy into seed production.
8. Pest and Disease Management
Monitoring: Watch for common pests such as aphids, spider mites, and leafhoppers. If necessary, treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
Disease Prevention: Ensure good air circulation around the plants to prevent fungal diseases. Avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of leaf spot, mildew, and rot.
Deadheading: Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and prevent the spread of disease.
Summary of Growing Duration
From Sowing to Germination: Approximately 14-21 days.
From Planting to Flowering: Bushy Asters typically bloom in late summer to fall, about 10-12 weeks after planting.
Full Bloom: Flowers last for several weeks, providing vibrant color in the garden until frost.
Additional Tips
Soil Preference: Bushy Asters thrive in well-drained, loamy soil but can adapt to various soil types as long as they are not waterlogged.
Sunlight: Provide full sun for the best growth and flowering. Asters can tolerate partial shade but may produce fewer flowers.
Support: Due to their compact growth habit, Bushy Asters typically do not require staking, making them easy to maintain.
Propagation: Besides growing from seeds, asters can also be propagated by dividing mature plants in the spring or fall.

Works pretty well for a cheap monitor
Size: 15.6" 1080P
I work remote and travel, so I miss my multi monitor setup. Not anymore. I took this on a trip with me and it was great. The stand folded over to not take up too much desk space, the cables wear just long enough, another 6” would have been great but they worked. Quality of the screen is plenty good enough for office work, I have no gaming or artwork experience with it though. If you need an inexpensive 2nd monitor , this works great for on the go or even for a regular desk.

Great portable second screen
Size: 15.6" 1080P
Really convenient for a second screen on the go. The display looks sharp and it’s lightweight enough to carry around easily. Setup is simple, just plug and play. Not super bright, but works well for most uses.

Exceptional - Better than one twice the price
Size: 15.6" 1080P
I bought a different external monitor a few years ago for twice the price and it was abominable compared to this monitor. This monitor is absolutely perfect. The speakers are definitely tinny like others mentioned, so don't expect to DJ a party with this thing, but for work it's perfect since that means voices are clearer anyways. The sound just isn't as full/rounded with proper bass, but it doesn't even matter because there's also a headphone jack on the monitor, too. USB-C is a total game changer for powering and passing full audio-visual in a single port. The included cables are also a big win since getting a spare data USB-C cable can get pricey and I know the one included is guaranteed to work with this monitor. It was literally plug-and-play with my 2023 16" Macbook Pro. I could go on and on about how every detail of this monitor is perfect, like how the stand is also a screen protector cover and how light and easy it is to carry and how the little grippy feet hold it in place confidently, but my point is THIS is FINALLY the external monitor I've been looking for!!!

Great portable display for the price.
Size: 15.6" 1080P
This monitor works very well. I bought because I needed an extra monitor for my iPad on my work desk. But I don’t have an outlet at this desk. The iPad powers the monitor just fine, though it drains the battery pretty quickly. I ended up also buying a 20ft USB-C cable and running that to the nearest outlet to power the monitor and my iPad. I also have a little phone holder standing the display up. The quality is pretty good for the price point. Definitely not my highest quality screen. It's perfect for spreadsheets and the colors are very passable anyway.

Perfect size. Love the cover that comes with it. Easy storage and portability. Perfect to work on the move. The screen itself looks really good for the price. I connected with the type c and turn on and off as my computer does. Amazing and easy to connect. Doesn't flickers.
