Here are the breeding methods and precautions for sunflowers, four key points for abundant flowers and a long flowering period. Let's take a look!
Breeding Methods of Sunflowers
1. Fertilization: During the growing period, a general-purpose compound fertilizer can be applied, approximately every two weeks. Before the flowers bloom, a thin solution of potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be sprayed on the sunflowers to supplement them with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, about once every half a month, to promote bud development and opening. A small amount of cake fertilizer water can also be applied to ensure sufficient nutrients, making the plant's flowers large and numerous, with lush green leaves.
2. Watering: Sunflowers have a certain drought tolerance and do not require frequent watering during the growing period. In the peak growing season, water about 3-4 times a week, directly watering the roots of the plant. When watering the seeds during the flowering period, it is important to water from the roots to avoid early blossom decline due to excessive water. The specific watering frequency also needs to be based on the pot's permeability, watering when the soil is completely dry to avoid soil moisture and root rot.
3. Light: Sunflowers bloom towards the sun, and the flowers are closed at other times, which shows that sunflowers love light very much. During the growing period, it is necessary to provide more than 8 hours of sunlight every day to promote photosynthesis, ensure strong growth, and colorful and flourishing flowers. If there is not enough light, it will cause the plant to elongate and reduce the amount of flowering.
