How to grow pansy seeds

1. Sowing time

It can be sown in autumn so that it can bloom in spring. Of course, you can also plant it in summer so that it will bloom in late autumn. The sowing time is usually between August and September.

2. Sowing conditions

Prepare the seeds first, then plant them in the soil, ensure a suitable germination temperature, 18 to 21 degrees is best, and prevent strong light exposure. They will germinate after about a week. Then adjust the temperature to 10 to 13 degrees, and it will bloom after 14 to 15 weeks. After that, the daytime temperature can be controlled at 15 to 25 degrees, and the night temperature can be controlled at 3 to 5 degrees.

3. Planting

When the seedling grows 4 small leaves, it can be transplanted. When transplanting, make sure the roots are covered with soil, otherwise it will be difficult for it to survive. In addition, the transplant location should be chosen in a place with good drainage and ventilation. The temperature should not be too high or there should be too much water, otherwise it will affect its growth.

4. Post-maintenance

After transplanting the seedlings, the first thing to do is to give them sufficient light. The best growth temperature is 7 to 15 degrees. This will allow the stems and leaves to flourish. Then water it appropriately, and do not let the soil be too wet or too dry, otherwise it will hinder its growth. Then fertilize it appropriately. In its early growth stage, use nitrogen fertilizer mainly, and in the flowering period, use phosphorus fertilizer mainly. Finally, prevent and control pests and diseases and properly prune the branches, cut off the dead branches and flowers. This can encourage the plant to grow new branches, bloom more flowers, and also extend its flowering period appropriately.
