Be sure to notice if there are drainage holes to avoid problems later on. It is better to choose a bigger pot because autoflower seeds grow very fast.
- The soil should be slightly acidic, with no clay or stoniness, as this can lead to increased moisture in the root system.
- The best time for planting is the second half of summer. Although autoflower seeds are famous for their tolerance to temperature changes, cold air can kill them in the early stages of growth. In addition, they are very fond of sunshine, so the young sprouts will be as comfortable as possible in the summer.
- Watering autoflower seeds also has its own peculiarities. Water the plant only when the soil is completely dry. This will not only keep the roots from overwatering but also not leave them dry for a long time. On average, autoflower seeds should be watered once a day in small portions.
