🌻 Sunflower Growing Guide

🌤️ Sunflower Growing Season in India

Sunflowers grow best in warm climates and need a long summer to bloom well.

• Best sowing time: Spring to Summer (January–June)

• Flowers appear during summer and rainy seasons when temperatures stay above 10°C.

🌱 How to Grow Sunflowers From Seeds

Sunflowers should be directly sown in pots, grow bags, or garden beds because they have long taproots and do not like transplanting.

• Ideal soil temperature for germination: 21–29°C

• Choose a 30–45 cm deep pot for best growth.

• Place the container in a sunny location for strong, straight stems.

🌾 Sunflower Seeds Sowing Method

1. Fill a pot with nutrient-rich potting mix.

2. Sow seeds 2–2.5 cm deep and 14–16 cm apart.

3. Water gently using a watering can.

4. Keep the soil moist until germination.

5. Seeds germinate in 7–10 days in warm conditions.

🌿 Sunflower Fertilizer Requirements

• Sunflowers need moderate feeding.

• Avoid over-fertilizing to prevent weak stems.

• Use phosphorus and potassium for larger blooms.

• Use nitrogen sparingly to avoid excessive leaf growth.

🌼 Sunflower Plant Care Tips

• 🌱 Soil: Well-drained, nutrient-rich soil (pH 6.0–7.5). Add compost or organic manure.

• 💧 Water: Drought-tolerant, but regular deep watering promotes better flowering. Water only when soil is dry.

• ☀️ Sunlight: Needs 6–8 hours of direct sunlight; sunflowers are heliotropic, so full sun supports straight, tall stems.

• 🌡️ Temperature: Best growth at 21–25°C.

• 🐛 Pests & Diseases: Generally pest-free, but gray moths, powdery mildew, downy mildew, and rust may appear.
  ✔️ Use a mild garden fungicide or neem spray when needed.
