Growing a flower
Growing a plant is possible both by seeds and seedlings. But competent gardeners recommend choosing the second path, since it is much easier to get a healthy plant using this method. The seeds will not always sprout, the process requires a lot of time and effort.
Spring is considered the most favorable time for disembarkation. It is better to choose the end of April or the beginning of May. The terrain for this can be absolutely any, since the flower is not afraid of frost, easily tolerates rain.
Landing is carried out according to the following rules:
- a seedling is taken up to 20 cm in height;
- the seedling is inserted into the ground, but not deeply, at a slight angle;
- the ground should be loose, with good drainage, so that a sufficient amount of oxygen and moisture can enter;
- water the seedling so often that the soil is not dry;
- every 2 weeks add mineral or organic fertilizers in turn;
- at first, the soil around should be covered with plastic wrap to create a greenhouse effect for the growth of new shoots;
- periodically, the film is removed to allow the plant in the ground to be saturated with oxygen.
If new shoots have formed during the first month, you should not worry, the plant will survive.
