No
For 2 Gallon, use 3-4 plugs per pot.
No
For 2 Gallon, use 3-4 plugs per pot. To finish in early Spring, plant development does require sufficient temperature (ADT 44-50°F), meaning a southern Winter climate, to grow and finish in that early Spring.
No
Avoid drought stress. Grow evenly moist but not wet. Monitor for Snails, Slugs, Root and Crown Rot, Pythium, Phytophthora (if too wet). Control Thrips, as Lobelia is very susceptible to INSV damage.
No
Maintain low pH. Myosotis suffer from chlorosis at high pH. Grow like Primula acaulis. See GrowerFacts for details on how to mitigate chlorosis caused by high pH. Suffers from chlorosis at high pH (above 6.1), due to iron deficiency. Moderate fertilisation, well-drained soil.

No - but beneficial; cooled plants flower more uniformly and faster than non-cooled plants; duration of 10 weeks at 41°F (5°C)
Bulking prior to vernalisation ensures pot-fill and improves flowering uniformity. Monitor for Whiteflies.
