7 Tricks to Make Zinnias Bushier and Flowerful
03.05.2024 - 14:25 / balconygardenweb.com / Raul Cornelius
Zinnias are easy to care for and bloom fine, but if you want one that’s dense and shines from afar, you’ll need some pro tips and we are here with them all!.
Zinnias loves bright, direct sunlight. Period! So, for better growth and flowers, keep them in the sun for a long time. They would do best if you kept them for 6-8 hours in direct sunlight.
Now, what does it mean to prune Zinnias selectively? Well, we’re going for a bushy appearance, right? So, stay away from getting rid of the excess growth.
Pick out the dead and yellowing branches that are growing in odd directions or seem weak. It will result in a bushier Zinnia, trust us!
If you remove the first few flower buds that appear on your Zinnia, it will focus more energy on producing new ones. Why?
Well, the plant, in its infancy, requires more energy to stem, and snipping away the initial batch of buds will help the plant to save the needed energy that it will then use to stem out, which will carry more future buds, rather than wasting the energy into flowering a few initial buds.
We know it seems fishy, but believe us, it will lead to a bushier and prettier Zinnia that’s full of flowers.
Ditch the normal fertilizers that are “specially formulated” for Zinnias. They’re glorified and not good enough. All you need is a bloom-boosting fertilizer likethese, and your Zinnia will start producing more flowers after just one or two sprays. You can also go for:
Don’t overdo the watering. Just don’t!
Zinnias don’t need a lot of water, but don’t do well in drought, either. So, go for a balanced approach. Water deeply, and then let them dry up a bit before watering them again. Make it a habit to check the topsoil for dryness before watering the plant again.
The ideal soil moisture level
