If you want to transplant zinnias from trays, note that the soil temperature should be between 21-26°C (70-80°F).

How often should Zinnia be watered

Zinnia graceful needs regular watering throughout the growing season.

Starting in spring, you should plan to water this plant about once a week. As the warm season approaches, watering can increase to two to three times a week.

Is it possible to prune zinnias

Trimming. Pinch the tip above the 3rd or 4th pair of true leaves for a fuller, more compact plant.

Pinching is the removal of the apical growing point, which provokes the appearance of lateral shoots and, as a consequence, tillering.
