How to grow sunflowers on the balcony and what to pay attention to

1. Can it be grown on the balcony?

Sunflower is a light-loving plant that requires a lot of light. It is best to grow it outdoors. If you grow it at home, you can put it on the balcony. The light can be maintained to help maintain its growth needs, help the roots to grow tight, strengthen the stems and branches, and avoid excessive growth. Good ventilation conditions are also helpful for growth. However, please note that if you keep it indoors, it may breed pests, so you need to pay more attention to protection and treat it in time if discovered. And don't keep it indoors all the time. If conditions permit, move it outdoors regularly to expose it to the outdoor environment.

2. How to maintain

1. Potting soil: The flowerpot should be larger to ensure the growth and extension of the roots. There are no high requirements for the soil. You can use humus soil with good drainage and add basal fertilizer to ensure good nutrition.

2. Temperature: In the growth environment, the temperature needs to be maintained at around 21-27℃, which is conducive to growth. And a certain temperature difference can be maintained appropriately to prevent the stems and leaves from growing too long.

3. Water and fertilizer: The application of water and fertilizer is an important factor for growth. If there is a lack of water for a long time, the plant will wither. Water can be given every 1-2 days during the growth period. The specific amount of water and frequency should be determined according to the situation. Fertilizer also needs to be applied regularly, and the concentration should not be too high.
