DETALLES

Instrucciones de cuidado
Zinnia elegans requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It thrives in moderate temperatures and prefers a dry environment. Water the plant when the soil is almost completely dry, and ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases. Regular deadheading will encourage continuous blooming.
Cosecha
Zinnia elegans, commonly known as zinnias, are typically ready to harvest about 75 days after planting. Harvesting should be done when the flowers are fully open and vibrant in color. To harvest, use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to cut the stems at an angle just above a set of leaves or a branching point. This encourages further blooming. It's best to harvest in the early morning when the plants are well-hydrated. Ensure to handle the flowers gently to avoid bruising the petals.
Suelo
Zinnias prefer well-draining soil, ideally a loam mix. The soil should be allowed to dry out almost completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Good drainage is essential for the health of the plant.
Fertilizante
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
Trasplante
As an annual plant, Zinnia elegans does not typically require repotting. However, if grown in containers, ensure the pot has good drainage and consider refreshing the soil each growing season.
Propagación
Zinnias are easily propagated from seeds. Sow seeds directly in the garden after the last frost date or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Thin seedlings to allow adequate space for growth.
Poda
Pruning is beneficial for Zinnia elegans. Regularly deadhead spent flowers to encourage new blooms and prevent the plant from going to seed. Pinching back the stems can also promote bushier growth.
Toxicidad
Zinnia elegans is non-toxic to pets and humans. It is safe to grow in gardens where children and pets are present.
Adicional
Zinnias are relatively easy to care for and are a favorite among gardeners for their vibrant colors and long-lasting blooms. They attract pollinators such as butterflies and bees, making them a great addition to any garden.
