Composition :
13x13cm bag with 0.25gr hop seeds
Growing method :
- Sowing: Open the bag and pour the seeds into your hand. If they are too small, add sand to make sowing easier. To sow, sprinkle the seeds onto moist, loose coconut soil, no more than 2-3 seeds per pot. Keep the rest of the seeds for later sowing, or to sow directly in your garden or balcony when the weather's right. Gently cover the seeds with fertilized coconut soil and pack lightly.
- Watering: Ideally, use rainwater or filtered (chlorine-free) water. Prefer light rainfall watering, preferably with a hand sprayer, to keep the soil just moist, but not soggy, throughout the growing period. Think of the soil as a wet, wrung-out sponge. Don't let the soil dry out.
- Germination: expose them to sunlight behind glass, but not over a radiator, to encourage rapid and abundant germination. Otherwise, from April onwards, expose them to the sun on your balcony, windowsill or terrace. The flower seeds take a few days to germinate, and the plant then grows if well watered.
- Transplanting: Once the seedlings have emerged and reached a height of 5 to 10 cm, select just one seedling per pot and transplant the others into new pots or planters, along a trellis to allow the plant to climb. Take care not to break stems or roots when transplanting. Water to encourage regrowth.
Flowering: Hop is a highly fragrant climbing flower that can reach 3 to 5 m in height if grown along a gutter or cable, so don't hesitate to climb it along your gutters or pergola legs. Flowers appear in summer, and the dense foliage can be used to refresh a wall or terrace table.
Good to know : Hops are used in craft beer brewing, either for bitterness or aroma. Don't hesitate to swap flowers with a neighbor for good beer!
