Can sunflowers be planted in flower pots?Sunflowers can be planted in pots. It is best to sow them between April and June, when the seed germination rate is the highest. The seeds will generally germinate 10-15 days after planting. They grow very fast and can bloom in July and August in summer. What kind of pot should I use for potted sunflowers?Potted sunflowers generally do not require a pot that is too large. As long as the plant height does not exceed 1 meter, a pot with a diameter of about 20-25 cm can meet the growth needs of the plant. What soil to use for potted sunflowersPotted sunflowers are not very demanding on the soil and can generally be planted in dry land, barren land, and saline-alkali land, but it is best to plant them in sandy loam. Methods and management of growing sunflowers in flowerpotsWhen planting sunflowers, you need to place the seeds with the pointed end facing down into the culture medium. The seeds have a weak ability to break through the soil, so just cover them with 1-2 cm of soil. This way, seedlings will emerge in about 7 days. After the sunflower is planted, it is necessary to keep the soil in the pot moist. It is best to place it in a place with sufficient light for maintenance. Insufficient light will cause the plant to grow too tall. Things to note when growing sunflowers in potsThe ornamental value of potted sunflowers lies in their large flowers. During the growth period of the plant, it is necessary to promptly trim the excess side buds of the plant and pinch the tops during the seedling stage to promote branching and flowering. |
