For the best sowing time and maintenance of cosmos, enthusiasts of raising plants must master these points.
Cosmos is also known as Gedan flowers, with unique and beautiful flower shapes, especially ornamental value. The best planting time for cosmos is in spring and autumn, as the weather is mild and it is a growing stage for many flowers, making it very suitable. Cosmos planted in spring can bloom in May, and the blooming period can last for three months. Don't mind the short blooming period; although there is only a three-month viewing period, after the flowers fade, a second bloom will appear shortly after. Cosmos is not a one-time flowering plant and will stop blooming when the weather turns cold at the beginning of winter. So, when is the sowing time for cosmos?
The sowing time for cosmos is in spring, and it grows very fast, almost blooming soon after March. If sown in February, cosmos can be seen everywhere in May. After September, cosmos will gradually wither, but new flower buds can be seen in one or two weeks. By October, there will be a new batch of flowers. With good care, the flowers will bloom continuously, with the previous ones fading and the new ones blooming, allowing the blooming period to last until winter. However, when the weather is cold or after the first bloom, the flowers may be smaller, but this does not affect their beauty.
How to sow cosmos seeds
Now is the most suitable time to plant cosmos, but the weather has been quite overcast recently. If it's cloudy, first place the purchased seeds in a dry cloth bag and keep them in a dry place to prevent mold or germination. Then, take out all the flower pots of different sizes at home. When planting, just sprinkle the seeds on the surface of the soil; there's no need to dig holes to bury them. Planting cosmos in the ground is even simpler; just loosen the soil where cosmos is to be planted and sprinkle the seeds on the surface.
When to sow cosmos seeds
When cosmos is grown in pots, after sprinkling the seeds on the surface, cover them with a layer of plastic wrap to prevent the seeds from being washed away during watering and to promote seed growth by providing a better growth temperature. Seeds grown in this environment will sprout in less than a week. They should not be exposed to sunlight before germination, but once seedlings are visible, they must be moved to a sunny location to speed up their growth. It is also important to fertilize and water regularly, but not too frequently, as excessive watering can cause root rot and lead to withering.
Before cosmos flowers, it is necessary to tidy up and trim the flower cores appropriately, which can promote the growth of more flower buds. After the first bloom, collect some seeds to plant and store them in a dry cloth bag. Make sure they do not get damp. Besides raising them yourself, you can also give some to friends. If you don't want to give away flowers, you can give seeds instead, as they are also easy to grow.
