Forget-me-not is an unpretentious plant that is not difficult to grow in the garden.
In the article, you will learn about the main points of planting forget-me-not seeds.
Steps to grow forget-me-not seeds
Choose a time to plant when the last frost is 4-6 weeks away in spring, late summer or fall.
For growing, you will need containers or trays with drainage holes.
Follow these steps:
- Place the wet growing seed mix into the trays.
- Sprinkle the seeds on top and press into the mixture.
- Place trays under grow lights for a minimum of 14 hours per day.
- Spray the seeds with water so that they do not dry out.
- When the seedlings germinate, you need to spray it a little less often.
- Thin out seedlings to make room for root development.Leave the containers outside for a while so that the forget-me-not gets used to the temperature.
- For planting seeds outdoors, work and clear the soil of weeds.
The soil should be nutrient-rich, well drained and moist.
In addition, forget-me-nots are frost-resistant plants that tolerate winter well and do not need special preparation.
The problem may be that forget-me-nots are freezing all over the garden. In this case, you can cut off the seed heads from the plant.
