Sunflowers bloom almost all year round, and generally bloom from May to November, except for a period of time in the cold winter. This flower has many colors, and unlike ordinary flowers and plants, it blooms in the sun and closes in the morning, evening, and on cloudy days. So, how can you grow sunflowers so that they are short and have many flowers? Maintenance during sowing periodIf you want to sow sunflowers, their seeds are relatively small. Use fine sandy soil without weeds and stones for sowing. Keep the temperature between 20 and 25 degrees. Generally, they will germinate ten days after sowing. If the seedlings are too dense, you can thin them out. Generally, 3-5 seeds are planted in a pot of sunflowers . Sprinkle the seeds in the soil, cover with a thin layer of soil, and keep the soil moist. Spray water every day to increase the air humidity, and you will see many new shoots growing soon. At the beginning, do not expose the seedlings to direct sunlight. Place them in a well-ventilated place with scattered light. Wait until they grow a little bigger before exposing them to the sun to prevent the tender leaves from being burned and affecting the growth of the seedlings. When the sunflower seedlings grow to two or three branches, gradually increase the light. Keep enough lightSunflowers like to grow in an environment with sufficient light, so the better the light, the more and brighter the flowers. If you put the potted sunflowers in a dark, humid, and unventilated place, they will grow leggy, thin, and bloom very little, and they will not grow well. So they need enough light to promote their growth. Watering should be reasonableNormally, a little moisture in the pot soil is enough. In summer, if the pot soil is dry, water it in time, because the temperature is high and the air is dry, and the water evaporates quickly. But if the pot soil is not dry, water it again to avoid water accumulation in the pot soil, which will cause the sunflower roots to rot. Continuous fertilization is requiredDuring the growth process, sunflowers need a continuous supply of nutrients and fertilizers. We can use a spray bottle of water and add a spoonful of potassium dihydrogen phosphate . Spray it every three or four days, or give it more slow-release fertilizers, such as organic fertilizers, cake fertilizers, nutrient solutions, etc. Try to use fertilizers that contain more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. In this way, its flowers will bloom a lot, and the flowers will be numerous, large and beautiful. In addition, in the process of raising sunflowers, we can also loosen the soil and add some soil, and add a layer of leaf mold, it will grow more vigorously. Continuous pinching and pruningFor flowers that have withered, if you don't want to keep seeds, you can prune some. In order to make it grow into a full plant shape, with more branches sprouting, you need to pinch the tops more. This will promote it to grow more side branches and grow into a firework shape. After such maintenance, the branches will be lush, the flowers will be numerous, and the flowers will be particularly beautiful. Moreover, the removed branches can also be used for cuttings, so that one pot can grow multiple pots of sunflowers . |
