Location: calceolaria is photophilous, cold-resistant and relatively drought-resistant, grows well on nutritious and loose soils.

Shoots appear in 12-15 days. Good seedlings grow in the light, in a cool place. Seedlings dive a month after germination. They are planted in a permanent place in May, leaving 15-20 cm between plants.
