Sunflower is a plant that likes light very much. As long as the light is sufficient, it can grow and bloom better. You should also pay attention to it while basking in the sun. Super strong light will also have a certain impact on the growth of sunflowers. , the light intensity received by each plant is limited, and the intensity of light exceeds the range it can bear, and the result is sunburn, and the same is true for sunflowers.
Every spring is the best season for sowing sunflowers. Scatter the seeds of sunflowers into the soil in spring. It will take about a month for the seeds to sprout and grow, and they will bloom in summer. Sunflowers are annual grass flowers. They grow in the same year, bloom in the same year, and die in the same year. With the advent of autumn and winter, the temperature drops, and the sunflowers will naturally wither and die.
Whether your home is in the south or the north, you can sow sunflowers. If you have a terrace at home, you can prepare a few more small flowerpots and scatter the sunflower seeds in the flowerpots in advance. Growing sunflowers requires manual management. Overall The maintenance process is very trouble-free. The vitality of grass flower type plants is usually relatively tenacious. What's more, the stems and leaves of sunflowers store a large amount of water inside, and are more drought-resistant than most grass and flower plants.
If you don’t sow seeds in spring, you can choose to buy sunflower branches directly in summer. Insert the sunflowers or branches into the soil, pour water on them, place them under natural light, and wait for ten days. The sunflower branches can also take root. , the maintenance of branches is simpler than that of seeds, but the price is slightly more expensive. Sunflower branches cost about four or five yuan, and seeds only cost two or three yuan.
Grass and flower plants are best maintained outdoors. The indoor environment lacks sunlight. The sunflowers grown will bloom very little and cannot achieve the effect of bursting. Only when they are placed outdoors to receive direct sunlight will they bloom more. Sunflowers in flower pots need to be watered every 2 to 3 days. In summer, the temperature is high and water evaporates quickly. There must be no shortage of water in the flower pot. If there is less water, they will not bloom.
In the process of cultivating sunflowers, some friends may find that the petals of sunflowers will naturally close at noon. This is a normal phenomenon. Due to the strong sunlight, sunflowers protect the stamens from the sun. If the sunflower is injured, the blooming petals will naturally close inward, which can play a protective role. It is very normal for the sunflower to not bloom at noon.
In addition, the climate in summer is quite special. Watering must be done in the evening. In the evening, when the temperature drops, the evaporation rate of water will slow down. After watering, it will be fully absorbed by the solarized roots. Choose to water at noon when it is hot. Water, you must remember when growing flowers in summer. Except for succulents , most other plants require more water. The flower soil must be kept moist to maintain the activity of the plants.
