1. Planting: The best time to plant is during spring, typically between March and April. You can sow the seeds directly in the garden or start them in a seedbed. These plants grow quickly, so it's recommended to transplant them into their final location by early June. If you delay planting, you can move the seedlings into containers, and they will bloom around National Day.
2. Light and Temperature: These plants thrive in full sun but can also tolerate partial shade. They need at least four hours of indirect sunlight daily. In summer, provide some shade to avoid high temperatures and direct sunlight. The ideal growing temperature ranges from 16°C to 26°C. During flowering, keep the temperature above 10°C. In winter, it's best to bring them indoors or into a greenhouse to protect them from freezing temperatures.
3. Watering and Fertilization: After planting, make sure to water the plants regularly. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during summer, but avoid overwatering or letting the soil become waterlogged for extended periods. If there’s heavy rain, ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot. Fertilize regularly after planting, and avoid letting the soil dry out completely. Be careful not to water plants that are already wilting under intense sunlight. During the flowering stage, avoid drought conditions, as this can cause the flowers to drop prematurely.
4. Flowering Control: To delay blooming, you can plant the seedlings as early as July. Another effective method is pinching back the stems, which involves removing the early blooms and flower buds. This encourages the plant to grow more vigorously and produce more flowers. Apply fertilizer every 15 to 20 days. By September, more flower buds will form, ensuring a beautiful display around National Day.
