How to propagate and maintain sunflowers?

Sunflowers have bright and elegant flowers, are highly ornamental and have practical value. They are also very easy to care for, taking about three months from sowing to flowering to maturity!

1. Seed selection

If you are growing it in a flowerpot, it is recommended to choose ornamental (dwarf sunflower) sunflower seeds; if you are growing it in the yard, you can use edible sunflower seeds. Be sure to buy raw sunflower seeds that produce a lot of seeds. The cooked seeds you usually eat will not work.

2. Planting

Sunflowers do not have high requirements for soil. After ordinary garden soil is thoroughly watered, sow 2 seeds into it, water it thoroughly again, and then place it in a ventilated and diffused light place for maintenance. It will germinate in 3 to 5 days!

3. Transplanting

When the sunflower sprouts emerge from the soil and the cotyledons open, they can be transplanted into a large pot. After transplanting, water the plants thoroughly and allow them to take root. It is recommended to place it in a sunny place indoors. If you want to place it under the sun, you need to water it frequently.

4. Maintenance

Light: Sunflower seedlings, leaves and flower disks all have strong phototropism. Only with sufficient light can they grow strong and have luxuriant branches and leaves. Insufficient light will cause the leaves to droop and turn yellow, and the flower disk will be small and dull.

Watering: Summer is the time when sunflowers grow most vigorously. The plants consume a lot of water, so they need to be watered every morning and evening to ensure the soil is moist.

Fertilization: To ensure flowering, when the seedlings grow 3 to 4 pairs of true leaves, spray some potassium dihydrogen phosphate, or decomposed bean cake fertilizer water on the leaves every few days.

Pruning: Pinch the tips of the branches during the seedling stage, and prune excess side buds in time during the growing period to prevent the branches and leaves from growing too long and ensure more flowers with bright colors.
