The sowing time can be calculated based on the period when you want to watch it. Of course, the flowering time varies depending on the variety.

How to plant Cineraria seeds

1. Mix the seeds with a small amount of fine sand and sow them in a shallow basin, making sure to spread them evenly.

2. Cover with a layer of fine soil after sowing to make the seeds invisible. Do not use a watering can to spray water after sowing to avoid exposing the seeds.

3. Cover the pot with glass to keep it moist, but leave a small gap on one side for ventilation. Then place the seed pot under a shade shed, or on the shady side of a cold bed or cold room, paying attention to ventilation and maintaining a low temperature.
4. After the seedlings emerge, gradually remove the shade and move away the glass to allow the seedlings to gradually receive sunlight, but shade must be provided at noon. Full light can be provided after two weeks, and then management can be carried out properly.
