SO AND HARVEST SUNFLOWERS
Plant location: Cultivated in the open field/rebate or in a pallet collar in a sunny location (6-7 hours of sun/day).
WHEN SOWING
Sow the sunflower indoors in April-May, depending on how early you want flowering. Place the briquette in lukewarm water and let it swell. Place on a plate or growing tray. Poke a seed about 1 cm into the growing briquette and cover the seed with some of the briquette's coconut fibers. In each briquette you can sow 1 seed. The sunflower can also be sown directly in its place of cultivation when the frost has left the ground.
Mark the seed with marking sticks. Enter variety and date.
Cover the seed with transparent cover with air holes. Tip - use a greenhouse with a plastic lid and place a capillary mat at the bottom which provides an even and good water supply. Place on heating floor or heating mat for extra fast germination.
Water regularly - never let the seed dry out!
1-2 WEEKS AFTER SOWING
Give light . When the seed germinates, usually after 5-15 days, it needs light. Remove the cover and place the seed in a bright and cooler place.
RETRAINING
Repot the plant when it has 4 leaves, to give it more space. Plant the entire briquette in a pot measuring approx. 10x10 cm, which is filled with nutrient-rich planting soil. Plant at the same depth as the plant stood before. Water with lukewarm water. Here, the plants are then allowed to grow before it is time for transplanting. If the plant's growth has stopped, replanting can already be done when it has 2 leaves.
FINAL PLANTING
Harden off the plant when the risk of frost is over, to acclimate it to the outdoor environment. Start with 1 hour/day and gradually increase the time outside. Avoid direct sunlight which is too strong for the young leaves. After a week or so, it is ready for a permanent life outdoors.
Plant the plant out in its place, for example in a flower bed or pallet collar, with 30 cm between each plant and 40 cm between each row. Plant in well-fertilized soil. Be sure to support the sunflower so that it is not crushed by the heavy flower. The sunflowers need a lot of water and nutrition to become plump and beautiful. Nutrient water continuously throughout the season.
HARVEST FESTIVAL
Harvest and enjoy approx. 3 months after sowing and you can then enjoy showy bouquets right up until the first frost.
