3. Precautions

Sunflower seedlings can bask in the sun, but only with scattered light and not exposed to the sun. The seedlings are easily sunburned and withered when exposed to strong light. I usually get two to three hours of sun in the morning and avoid the strong sunlight in the afternoon. Do not stay out of the sun for a long time, otherwise the seedlings will easily grow leggy, which will affect later flowering. In addition, pay attention to the humidity and temperature. Only if the environment is suitable, will it grow up healthily.

1. Can it bask in the sun?

Sunflowers themselves are very light-loving, and even small seedlings cannot do without light. If the seedlings are not exposed to the sun for a long time and are placed in a cool place during the seedling stage, they will easily grow and will affect the flowering in the later period. However, it should not be exposed to strong light or exposure to the sun, otherwise the seedlings will wither. Generally, two or three hours of morning sun is sufficient, and the midday sun must be blocked.

2. How to grow up healthily

1. Humidity: If you want the seedlings to grow up healthily, they cannot do without moisture, and they need to be moisturized. However, less water is consumed during the seedling stage, so pay attention to the frequency of watering. Generally, watering once every two or three days is sufficient. Do not allow water to accumulate in the soil, otherwise it will hinder breathing and affect growth.

2. Temperature: It is not cold-resistant by itself. The cold tolerance of seedlings is even worse. Pay attention to the temperature, it is best to maintain it at around 18 degrees, not too low. If the temperature cannot meet the needs, it is recommended to cover it with plastic film to keep it warm. You can open it for ventilation during the day and cover it again at night to avoid frostbite.

3. Precautions

Usually, the soil used during cultivation contains certain nutrients, which can meet the needs of the seedling stage. It is also resistant to barrenness, so there is no need to fertilize at this time. If fertilizer is applied, the seedlings cannot absorb it, which will cause fertilizer damage, easily burn the roots, and affect growth. Be careful not to apply it.
