How to plant verbena

Preparation before planting

Choose soil with a thickness of more than 30 cm, and apply fertilizer to the soil evenly first to prevent uneven fertilizer application and fertilizer damage, which will cause the plants to be unable to grow normally.

Planting method

You can directly spread the seeds evenly on the soil surface, with a distance of about 25 cm between seeds, and then cover them with a layer of soil about 1 cm to 1.5 cm thick, and then press gently with your hands.

Planting time

From late April to early May

Post-planting management

The temperature is maintained between 20 and 25 degrees, and the environment should not be too dry. Under such circumstances, small sprouts will emerge in about 10 to 15 days. When the sprouts grow to 5 cm high, they can be transplanted.

After transplanting, weeding should be done frequently. You can pull out weeds as soon as you see them to prevent them from absorbing the nutrients of the plants. Generally, weeds grow relatively fast.

Water the soil immediately when it is slightly dry. This is to enhance the air permeability of the soil and reduce the occurrence of diseases and pests. You can loosen the soil appropriately after watering, which is very beneficial to the growth of seedlings.

After transplanting, keep the environment dry and exposed to plenty of sunlight.

You can see its flowers blooming 4 to 5 months after planting.
