ZINNIA ILLUMINATION SEEDS
Select a Planting Location: Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil for optimal growth.
Prepare the Soil: Loosen the soil to a depth of 6-8 inches and mix in compost or aged manure to improve soil fertility and drainage.
Sow the Seeds: For indoor planting, start seeds in trays or pots filled with seed-starting mix, 4-6 weeks before the last frost date.
For outdoor planting, wait until after the last frost date and sow seeds directly into the prepared soil. Plant the seeds about 1/4 inch deep and 12 inches apart.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water the plants at the base to avoid wetting the foliage.
Thin the Seedlings: Once the seedlings have grown a few inches tall, thin them to a spacing of 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper airflow and growth.
Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the plants to help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Fertilizing: Zinnias are not heavy feeders, but you can apply a balanced fertilizer once or twice during the growing season to encourage healthy growth and blooming.
Deadheading: Remove faded flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming throughout the season.
Pests and Diseases: Keep an eye out for common pests like aphids and spider mites, and treat them promptly if necessary. Ensure good air circulation around the plants to prevent fungal diseases.
