Which side should sunflower seeds be planted facing down?

1. Which side is facing down?

The sowing time for sunflowers is generally from March to April. There is no strict requirement on which end of the seeds should face downwards. Generally, for convenience, sunflowers are planted flatly, and the embryo tends to grow upwards automatically. However, according to growth requirements, it is best to insert it vertically with the pointed end facing downwards. The roots will grow out from the pointed end, which is more conducive to growth. It doesn't matter if the blunt head is pointing downwards, it can basically germinate and grow normally, so there is no need to worry about growth problems.

2. Planting Method

1. Prepare the soil: Before sowing, choose a suitable flower pot first. If you plant it at home, the flower pot does not need to be too large. Choose suitable soil, which should be rich in nutrients, loose and breathable, and conducive to seed germination and growth.

2. Sowing seeds: plant the seeds with the tip facing downwards, cover the seeds with about 1-2 cm of soil, pour enough water to keep the substrate moist, and then gently press the soil to make it firm.

3. Management: After taking care of these, place the sunflower in a sunny place, maintain a warm environment, and water it frequently to keep it moist. Generally, seedlings will grow in 3-7 days in a warm environment.
