The covering soil is twice as thick as the seed, keeping the potted soil moist. When the seedlings are 8-10 cm high, they can be planted separately.

2. split method: generally combined with changing pots in spring, plants with many tillers are selected, part of the old culture soil is removed, and it is divided into two to several clumps from the base joint with a sharp knife; each clump should not be too small, there must be 2 to 3 plants, and the root system should be retained, otherwise the plant will grow slowly and affect the ornamental plant. Separate planting after a higher temperature environment, often spray water, in order to restore growth.

How to trim loose tail sunflower

The main purpose is to cut off some too tall main branches, because the stems are too stout and should need some large tools, followed by cutting some morbid and weak branches.

The pruning of loose-tailed sunflower is usually carried out after two years of planting, and then pruned in time with the continuous increase of plant height. The general pruning is mainly to solve the problems caused by the rapid rise of loose-tailed sunflower, such as the decrease of branch and leaf space length and lack of light exposure, as well as the nutrient deficiency caused by tall plants and dense stems and leaves.

How to spend the winter with loose-tailed sunflower

1. Temperature: sunflower likes to grow in places where the climate is warm and humid, and it is very unsuitable for the cold climate. Therefore, in winter, we need to ensure that the indoor temperature is above 10 degrees. In this way, it can better survive the cold winter.

2. Lighting: in the daytime, sunflower should be placed in a place with good light conditions and ventilated environment to grow, so as to avoid strong sunlight. Sunflower grows best when the temperature is between 20 and 35 degrees.

3. Watering: reduce watering in winter and keep the soil dry, which can make it better dormant.

4. Fertilization: in winter, if the growth of loose-tailed sunflower is relatively weak, or the growth is not good, fertilizer should be stopped in time.

5. Maintenance methods: sunflower needs to keep the temperature above 8 degrees at night in winter, which is beneficial to the survival of the plant. If you live in an environment below 5 degrees for a long time, frostbite and death will occur.

When the growth is exuberant, we need to keep the soil moist, maintain a certain amount of humidity, and increase the number of fertilizers accordingly, so as to meet the nutritional needs of the peak growing season. When you want to clean the leaves in winter, you can often clean and wipe the ash on the leaves to maintain a beautiful state at all times.
