Which side should sunflower seeds be planted facing down?

1. Which side is facing down?

Sunflower seeds are divided into small heads and big heads. Strictly speaking, the small heads are planted downwards, and the roots grow out of the small heads. This helps them take root in the soil, saves the energy consumed during their growth, and accumulates energy for growth, which is beneficial for later growth. However, in actual growth life, it doesn’t matter which end is planted downwards, because the buds of the plant will be phototropic and will naturally grow towards the light source, and the roots will grow downwards. So when planting, it doesn’t matter which end is facing downwards, it can be placed flat, and it will not affect the growth.

2. Planting Method

1. Time: The best time is March to April in spring, which happens to be a period of mild climate and strong growth activity.

2. Potting soil: Prepare suitable potting soil. Use a breathable small pot. Wait until the plant grows up before changing the pot. The soil should be breathable, loose and well-drained.

3. Planting: Plant the seeds in a flowerpot and cover them with a thin layer of soil, about 2 cm. Then press the soil tightly, water it thoroughly, and place it in a sunny place.
