Step-by-Step Growing Instructions
1. Seed Preparation:
Soak seeds in warm water for 12–24 hours before planting to improve germination.
2. Soil Preparation:
Use well-draining, fertile soil enriched with compost or organic matter.
Maintain a neutral to slightly acidic soil pH (6.0–7.5).
3. Sowing the Seeds:
Choose a sunny spot or an area with partial shade.
Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep directly in the garden or in pots.
Space seeds about 18–24 inches apart to allow room for the plant to grow bushy.
4. Watering:
Water gently after sowing to moisten the soil.
Keep the soil consistently moist until seeds germinate (7–14 days).
Once established, water moderately, allowing the soil to dry slightly between watering sessions.
5. Light Requirements:
Provide full sun for vibrant flowering. The plant can tolerate partial shade but will bloom less.
6. Fertilization:
Mix a balanced fertilizer or organic compost into the soil at planting.
Apply a liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season to promote healthy blooms.
7. Care and Maintenance:
Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming.
Weeding: Clear the area around the plant to minimize competition for nutrients.
Mulching: Apply mulch around the base to retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.
8. Pests and Diseases:
Generally pest-free, though aphids or whiteflies may appear. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap if necessary.
9. Blooming Period:
In Pakistan, expect flowers to bloom from May to October, depending on the sowing season.
10. Overwintering:
In frost-free areas, the plant will grow year-round.
In colder regions, dig up the tubers after flowering, dry them, and store them in a cool, dark place for replanting next season.
