Description

China Aster grows up-to a height of 44 cm and starts flowering after 130 days of sowing as per growing conditions and it keeps on flowering for next 1 month. Ideal for winter season. Flowers can be used as cut flowers when made a cut 12 cm down from the flower. Cut flowers can be fresh for minimum of three days when kept in flower vase filled with tap water.

To sow the seeds, prepare a rich organic mixture by combining compost, garden soil, sand, and coco-peat in a 1:1:1:2 ratio (ignore coco-peat if not available). Water the soil until it drains from the bottom. Allow the soil to sit for 5 minutes to ensure that any excess water is drained before sowing the seeds. Cover the seeds with the same mixture, doubling the size of the seed.

Once the seedlings reach to a height of 10-13 cm, transplant them to their final pots or location in the evening. Water them well for the first time to help them establish. From the next day onwards, water regularly based on the soil and climate conditions. Avoid overwatering but ensure that the soil remains moist without becoming waterlogged.

Please note: To achieve the best germination results, it is recommended to use all the seeds within 2 weeks after they are delivered to you.
