How to Use – Step by Step
- Step 1: Prepare the Sowing Site: Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Loosen the soil and remove any weeds to ensure optimal conditions for growth.
- Step 2: Sow the Seeds: Sow the seeds directly into the ground from April to May. Distribute the seeds evenly and cover them lightly with soil (about 0.5 cm deep). Press the soil gently and keep it moist.
- Step 3: Germination: Germination usually occurs within 8 to 14 days at a temperature of 14 to 18°C. Monitor the soil moisture during this period.
- Step 4: Thinning: Once the plants are large enough (about 5 cm), thin them to a spacing of 15 cm to give them enough room to grow. This promotes healthier and more vibrant blooms.
- Step 5: Care: Water the plants regularly, especially during dry periods. Remove weeds and faded flowers to prolong the flowering period and encourage new blooms.
