The sunflower, because of its characteristic of blooming under the sunlight, is also called the "noon flower". They are colorful, easy to maintain, and extremely cost-effective, making them a favorite in the homes of many flower lovers. However, some flower lovers found that their sunflowers were growing poorly and blooming seldom. Next, let us learn together how to care for and manage sunflowers. 1. Soil selection The sunflower is not picky about soil and has strong adaptability. Nevertheless, to promote better growth, it is recommended to use leaf mold and mix in a small amount of garden soil. This soil combination ensures looseness and ventilation, has good air permeability, and is rich in nutrients, making it very suitable for the growth of sunflowers. 2. Lighting requirements The name of the sunflower already hints at its dependence on sunlight. Even in the hot summer, there is no need to worry about the sun damaging it. If there is insufficient light, the sunflower may grow too tall, bloom less or even not bloom. Therefore, make sure the sunflower is placed in a sunny place to facilitate its sufficient photosynthesis, promote its lush growth and blooming. 3. Water management Although sunflowers prefer a humid environment, they are also very drought-resistant and not water-resistant. Therefore, be careful to control the amount of water when watering to avoid water accumulation and root rot. Before watering, check that the soil is dry, and then adjust the frequency of watering according to the season: about once a week in spring and fall, every two to three days in summer, and reduce to once a month in winter. 4. Reasonable fertilization The sunflower does not require much fertilizer , and regular application of some compound fertilizer can meet its growth needs. Before flowering, apply an appropriate amount of fertilizer containing phosphorus and potassium to provide the necessary nutrients. Pay attention to the fertilization ratio to avoid excessive nutrients that may burn the roots. The generally recommended fertilizer ratio is 1:1000, which can help sunflowers grow larger and brighter flowers. In short, by ensuring adequate supply of water, fertilizer and sunlight, the sunflowers will soon grow lushly and fill the pot with flowers.
