Zinnias love summer weather, reacting poorly to cold snaps and constant climate change. The pH level should be between 5.5 and 7.5.
Zinnia will grow much faster if you add compost or old manure.
Can zinnias be planted in a pot
You can plant several pieces in one pot, as the bush will look more luxuriant; the main thing is that the pot should be large enough so that the roots are not crowded.
Without pinching, zinnia blooms faster, and then only sends out side shoots.
When and how to sow Zinnia
Zinnia is a fast-growing flower, so do not try to plant seedlings before April.
When sowing early, the condition of the seedlings deteriorates, they become elongated and thinner.
The seeds are sown to a depth of 1 cm. It is not necessary to cover and create a greenhouse effect; they will germinate in a week.
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
Since Zinnia daisy is an annual plant, pruning should be done primarily during seasons when the plant is growing rapidly.
As the plant grows, yellowed, withered and spotted leaves appear and these spotted and discolored leaves need to be trimmed.
