Some friends have already guessed what kind of plant I am talking about. It is sunflower, also known as pine leaf peony. It is a particularly enduring four-season flowering plant. As long as it is given a warm, moist and sunny environment all the year round, sunflowers can always grow and blossom, and the flowers will not break.

The leaves and stems of sunflowers are very juicy, which is why sunflowers are so drought-tolerant. Even if they often forget to water and bask in the sun every day, sunflowers can still grow vigorously, and the flowers will bloom more and more. Compared with other potted flowers, it is easy to raise too much.

There are actually many varieties of sunflowers in different colors, including the common pink, yellow, red, orange, white and purple, and some mixed varieties, such as mini peonies or roses.

There are nearly a hundred varieties of sunflower, including Portulaca oleracea, which is common. Although sunflower is an annual plant in some places, it can sow and reproduce itself, and its seeds will automatically fall to the ground, take root and sprout itself, and it is easy to grow into a large area.

Sunflower plants can generally grow to more than 20 centimeters tall, of course, if not properly pruned, its branches will continue to grow, or even cover the entire ground, it is only a matter of time.

Sunflowers need more than 6 to 8 hours of light every day, so that they can grow most vigorously and bloom more beautifully. Although sunflowers can grow without light, it is very difficult to blossom. Many friends may notice that sunflowers basically do not blossom on rainy days, and their flowers will close at night and blossom only with the sun. Its name is also worthy of the name.

If you want to cultivate sunflowers, you can choose to sow directly, sow the seeds directly in the soil, cover 2cm to 3cm, water to keep the soil moist, put it in a place with scattered light, keep the temperature at about 20 degrees, and sprout in a few days. The seedlings are watered carefully to avoid flushing the seedlings, and they can grow into robust plants in two or three weeks.

Next, sunflowers will continue to branch, you need to cut off some weak branches, pinch the top when the main stem grows to 15 centimeters, remove the buds from the top, don't leave flowers, don't worry that sunflowers will die, as long as you avoid stagnant water or freezing in the soil, it is basically unsustainable.

After three or four weeks of maintenance, the sunflowers will continue to bloom, and then if you want the sunflowers to grow more vigorously, you can continuously pinch the top and cut off the branches a little longer, so as to promote continuous branching. The cut branches can be cut directly into the soil and live.

The cultivation of sunflowers should use loose, fertile and well-drained soil, do not use sticky and poorly drained soil, sunflowers are particularly drought-resistant, it is no problem not to water them for a period of time, but watering them regularly will grow better and avoid stagnant water in the soil. Water should not be watered directly on the flowers, otherwise the flowers are easy to grow and become disabled.

After that, it is even easier to reproduce sunflowers. It doesn't matter if you cut off the branches of sunflowers directly, as well as cutting the flowers in the soil. It is one of the few plants I have seen that can propagate without removing the flowers. The flowers can bloom normally the next day because their branches and leaves are full of water.

Sunflowers are rarely caused by diseases and insect pests, and if they are overwatered, they are easy to catch aphids, and the humid environment is easy to attract snails and slugs, so it is most suitable for pots such as watering to be completely dry and re-watered.

Sunflower is also very suitable for planting in the yard, as a great garden ornamental plant, it can crawl on the ground, the plant is short, the ornamental is very good, the maintenance is simple, does not need to manage, and the flowering period is very long.

Some friends say that the sunflowers raised in his home rarely bloom, which is probably due to the lack of pruning, so it is necessary to pinch the top frequently and give more light as much as possible. in spring and summer, you can give thin organic fertilizer and water every 2-3 weeks, which can also promote flowering.
