How to plant sunflowers and the planting season

1. Planting Season

As long as the temperature can be controlled, it can be planted at any time, and the temperature required is around 18 degrees. However, it is usually carried out in spring, specifically around March or April. At this time, not only is the temperature suitable, but the climate is also suitable, which can improve the survival rate and is also conducive to later growth and flowering.

2. Prepare the soil

When planting, you need to prepare soil with strong drainage and certain fertility so that the seeds can better absorb nutrients and germinate faster. For potted planting, the soil can be prepared by mixing sand, garden soil and rice husk ash. If you are planting it in the ground, you should choose a plot with suitable soil, turn the soil first and make sure it is loose.

3. Sowing seeds

Once the soil is prepared, you can plant the seeds. Usually the sowing method is used, and the seeds should be spread evenly. Then cover it with a thin layer of soil and water it to make it moist. If the temperature is too low, cover it with a film and control the temperature at around 20 degrees. The film can keep warm and moisturize, which is conducive to germination.

4. Germination and maintenance

As long as the environment is suitable, it will germinate about 10 days after planting. After germination, you need to change the environment, remove the film, and let it be exposed to diffuse light. In a light environment, the young shoots can germinate faster and grow faster. You can transplant it about a month after planting. After transplanting, water it regularly, expose it to more sunlight, and prune it in time so that it will bloom soon.
