How to Grow Forget-Me-Nots? Detailed Guide to Sowing Methods and Care Tips

1. Timing Selection

Generally speaking, we choose from September each year to January of the following year.

2. Selection of Growing Soil

This step is very important for whether sowing succeeds. The primary requirements are naturally looseness, airiness, rich nutrients, and good drainage. In addition, according to the plant's own characteristics, you also need to choose slightly alkaline soil; acidic soil is not conducive to germination.

3. Selection of Seeds

Only when good seeds are selected will the final germination rate be high. Specifically, it is best to choose seeds that are plump and have not been attacked by pests or diseases.

4. Sowing and Later Handling

Scatter the seeds evenly in the soil. For large-scale planting, the row spacing should be 30cm x 40cm. For ordinary home planting, simply scatter them into the soil in a flowerpot. However, note that this plant's seeds are photophobic. So just scattering them is not enough. You also need to cover them with a layer of soil; it does not need to be too thick, just a thin layer.

Later management is also important. First, humidity must be ensured. Second, the temperature needs to be 15 to 20°C. Note that the higher the temperature, the better is not always true; it is best not to exceed 25°C. After about ten to fifteen days, you can observe that it has sprouted. Then, when five true leaves have grown, it can be transplanted.
