How to grow potted zinnias

1. Lighting

It is a sun-loving plant and should be placed in a place with better light during maintenance. Except for proper shading in the summer, let it get more sunlight at other times. If there is insufficient light, the plant will easily grow too tall, and its resistance will also decrease, which will affect flowering.

2. Watering

It likes light and consumes a lot of water, so it is necessary to water it frequently during maintenance. It is best to water it every day in summer, but there should be no accumulation of water. It should also be kept moist in other seasons and should not lack water.

3. Temperature

It will grow very quickly in a warm climate, and summer is its peak growth season. It is afraid of extreme heat, so the temperature must be controlled, preferably at around 20 degrees. In addition, its cold resistance is weak and it also keeps warm in winter. The recommended temperature is above 10 degrees.

4. Pests and diseases

It is prone to diseases and pests during its growth period, the most common of which are mosaic disease, black spot disease, and white star disease. Once it is diseased, its flowers and leaves will be harmed, so when discovered, it is necessary to spray pesticides in time for prevention and control.
