Sweet Pea: Growing and Care

The place should be well lit by the sun all day.

Peas love deeply cultivated, nutritious soil with a neutral environmental reaction.

How long does it take for sweet peas to germinate

When the seeds hatch, they can be planted in peat pots using nutritious soil.

In a couple of weeks, shoots will appear.

How and when to sow sweet peas

With the seedling method, sweet pea seeds should be sown for seedlings in late March - early April (before the 7th - 10th).

Then the flowering of these stunningly fragrant and delicate vines will begin at the end of May.

Low-growing varieties of sweet peas germinate and bloom fastest (usually 2 weeks after sowing).

Should sweet peas be pruned

Sweet peas are an annual plant, so they do not require much pruning.

You only need to trim and remove diseased, yellowed or fallen leaves and stems during the growing season.

How to grow peas at home

Usually, at home, peas are grown in wide and fairly high containers, 20-25 cm deep.

Holes for draining water and a drainage layer of about two centimeters are required.

The soil used is a mixture of garden or purchased universal soil, humus and sand in equal parts.

Watering

Sweet peas love water very much, so they need to be watered every other day in the first month, then 2 times a week (1 watering can for each plant).
