Can sunflowers be grown indoors?

Sunflowers can be planted indoors, but they are not suitable for indoor maintenance because they are sun-loving plants. They have very high requirements for sunlight during their growth period and cannot be separated from light. If they are maintained indoors, they need to be placed on the balcony and often moved outdoors to dry in the sun.

Sunflower growth environment requirements

Maintenance environment: Sunflowers like places with sufficient light. Only when they receive enough light can they promote flowering and fruiting. Generally, sunflowers do not have very high requirements for soil and need frequent watering during the growing period.

How to grow sunflower indoors

1. Soil: Sunflowers are best planted in loose, fertile soil. Generally, organic fertilizer can be applied as base fertilizer during planting. They should not be planted in heavy clay soil.

2. Light: Sunflower is a light-loving plant. Generally, the flower disk will rotate with the rotation of the sun, and it needs full sunlight during the growth period.

3. Fertilization: Sunflowers have a relatively large demand for nutrients when growing, so they need to be fertilized frequently. Generally, it is sufficient to apply thin fertilizer frequently.
