How to grow snapdragons to make them bloom?
You may not be familiar with the experience of growing snapdragons to make them bloom. I will introduce it to you in detail below.
Previously, some flower enthusiasts left a message, asking for an article on the cultivation of snapdragons. So today, let's talk about snapdragons.
Snapdragon Introduction
Many flower enthusiasts may not know what snapdragons look like. They might think that this is a flower whose name is misleading, as the name "snapdragon" is really not a match for its beauty. It is called snapdragon because its flowers resemble goldfish.
Snapdragons are perennial herbaceous plants. Although they are herbaceous, the base of their stems sometimes becomes woody, and they can grow to about 80 cm in height, making them very beautiful cut flowers.
In recent years, there have also been hanging and dwarf varieties of snapdragons. But when planted, many people still prefer the tall cut-flower snapdragons. They can be grown in pots or in the ground. They mainly have many inflorescences and are excellent for flower arrangements and fresh cut flowers.

The flowers of dwarf and hanging snapdragons are not as concentrated, with shorter inflorescences. However, for small spaces, choosing dwarf and hanging snapdragons is still quite good.
How to grow snapdragons and precautions
Snapdragons are relatively easy to grow, whether it's cut-flower snapdragons or dwarf or hanging varieties. The cultivation methods are similar. Everyone can start with the following five aspects.
1. Fertile potting soil
Snapdragons can be grown from seeds or purchased as seedlings. For those who know how to sow seeds, I personally recommend sowing them yourself. Sowing in autumn and blooming in spring, from sowing to full bloom, can be very rewarding.
Snapdragons are herbaceous plants, and their seedling stage is during the autumn and winter seasons when the temperature is relatively low, and their growth is slow. Therefore, the seedling stage can be quite long and requires patience. When transplanting the seedlings, it is necessary to start with a small pot and then gradually move to a larger pot. Avoid using a large pot for small seedlings, as it can easily cause waterlogging and root rot.
