Sunflower to grow 8 cm planting kit

Cultivation mode:

• Fertilized soil: To promote successful germination, start by soaking the fertilized coconut lozenges in 5 to 6 times their volume of water; they will instantly swell. Unlayer them and fill the pot with a spoon. Do not forget to keep a small part to cover the seeds after sowing.
• Sowing: open the bag and pour seeds into your hand. If they are too small, add sand to make it easier to sow. For sowing, sprinkle the seeds on the wet, uncompact coconut soil, a maximum of 2 to 3 seeds per pot. Save the rest of the seeds for later sowing or to sow directly in your garden or on your balcony when the weather is nice. Gently cover the seeds with fertilized coconut soil and tamp lightly.
• Watering: ideally, use rainwater or filtered water (without chlorine). Prefer a fine rain watering, ideally using a hand sprayer, to keep the soil just wet, without gorging it with water, throughout the culture. Imagine the soil that has to stay like a wet sponge and then be wrung out. Do not let the coconut land dry.
• Germination: expose to sunlight behind a glass, without putting over a heating, to promote rapid and abundant germination. Otherwise, from April on, expose yourself to the sun on your balcony, windowsill, or terrace. The germination of flower seeds takes a few days, and the plant then grows if well watered.
• Transplanting: When the seedlings emerge and reach 3 to 5 cm in height, select only one plant per pot and transplant the others into new pots or planters. Be careful to be delicate, not to break the stems or roots when transplanting. Water to promote regrowth
• Flowering: possibly in windy regions. Flowering from July to September. It is useless to lose a full day observing it: the sunflower does not follow the course of the sun; only its leaves show some phototropism, quite discreet. Let the flowers dry completely, and go to the end of the maturation of the seeds, which must be black and leathery. Cut the heads and hang them down in bare trees in winter; they serve as a pantry for birds who need it well during the cold season.

It gives a large, bright, golden yellow flower with a black center carried by a sturdy stem that is difficult to ignore. Giant, it is also known by its large leaves. Originally, the Indians of America, where it originated, derived an oil and a flour, but also a dye.
