Which side of a sunflower seed is facing down?

1. Which side is facing down?

Sunflower seeds can be planted, but you need to pay attention to which end is facing down. In order to ensure better growth, when planting, it is best to point the tip down and the big head up, because the tip will grow roots to tighten the soil, and subsequent growth will be smoother. However, there is no clear requirement for which end faces upwards. It has a strong germination ability. Even if the big end faces downwards or is placed flat, it will not affect germination. The roots will naturally take root downwards, and the embryo part will naturally grow upwards.

2. Precautions

1. When planting, in order to ensure the germination rate, you should not only pay attention to which end is facing downward, but also pay attention to the planting time. It is best to sow in March or April in spring so that the seeds can germinate smoothly. If the time is not chosen appropriately, the germination rate will be affected.

2. Also pay attention to the maintenance factors. After planting, you must compact the soil and water it thoroughly, and then place it in a sunny place to promote germination. After the seedlings grow out, you also need to pay attention to the light factor and they should not be placed in a dark place without light.
