When to plant bluebells

The suitable temperature for Campanula to germinate is 20-24℃, so it is generally suitable for planting in April-June every spring, or you can choose to plant it in autumn. The temperature during this period is just right and the germination rate is relatively high.

How to plant bellflower

1. When planting bellflowers, use mature seeds. It is best to use seeds with fuller and more complete grains, so that the germination rate will be higher.

2. Before sowing bellflowers, the seeds need to be soaked for 12 hours. Because the seeds of bellflowers are very small, there is no need to cover the soil after sowing.

3. The seedbed needs sufficient light and good drainage. The soil for sowing should be slightly moist. The seeds will germinate within 20 days after sowing.

4. When the seedlings of the plant grow 5 or 6 leaves, they can be transplanted into pots and placed in a place with diffuse light. After potting, water them thoroughly immediately so that the seedlings can have more complete contact with the soil.

How to plant the bluebells I just bought

There are not many planting requirements for the newly bought bellflower. You just need to plant it in fertile soil and place it in a warm environment, and it will grow. On this basis, you also need to provide it with appropriate amounts of water and nutrients.

How to grow bluebells quickly

1. Campanula generally likes to grow in fertile and moist soil. Well-drained soil can make it grow more beautiful and stronger. The soil should be slightly acidic or neutral.

Precautions for potted cultivation of bellflower

1. When sowing bellflower seeds, be careful. Because its seeds are very small, you must not cover them with too thick soil after sowing, otherwise they may not germinate.

2. Campanula potted plants usually need to be cultivated for two winters before they can bloom, so patience is required when caring for them. Especially in the summer when the light is strong, shade should be provided in time to avoid sunburn.

3. Potted bellflowers are sun-loving plants, so they need to be placed in a sunny place during maintenance. They cannot be placed in the shade for a long time. Lack of light will lead to poor growth.
