Planting and Sowing Instructions:
-
Choose the Right Spot: Cineraria flowers thrive in a location with partial shade but can tolerate full sun in cooler climates.
-
Prepare the Soil: Plant in well-draining, fertile soil for best results. Mix in some organic compost to enhance soil quality.
-
Sow the Seeds: Lightly surface-sow the seeds, as they require light to germinate. Press them gently into the soil but do not cover them with a layer of soil.
-
Watering: Mist the seeds gently after sowing to keep the soil moist. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to seed rot.
-
Germination: Expect germination within 10-15 days, depending on conditions. Keep the soil consistently moist and ensure the temperature is between 65-75°F (18-24°C).
-
Thinning: Once seedlings have grown to a manageable size, thin them out to about 6-8 inches apart to allow for healthy growth.
-
Care: Water regularly, but avoid excessive moisture. Fertilize with a balanced organic fertilizer during the growing season for optimal blooms.
Additional Tips:
-
Cinerarias are sensitive to frost, so plant them after the last frost of the season or start them indoors before transplanting.
-
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage new blooms and extend the flowering period.
