A good start is essential in achieving a good harvest. Take extra care to ensure that you buy seeds that are suitable for the type of cultivation you have chosen: indoors or outdoors. Germinating your seeds can best be done by following the plan given below step by step.
Place the seeds in a glass of water. Renew the water every day if necessary. A seed is viable when it opens and a small root emerges.
Do not allow the roots to become too long since they can be easily broken off during planting which will make it impossible for a plant to form.
Remove the germinated seeds from the water and plant them carefully in individual pots in a hole that is about two to three centimetres deep and carefully cover them with a little potting mix. After a week or so the first plants will emerge from the ground and if everything goes all right 80-90% will actually produce plants.
Plant the small plants in a good quality potting mix such as CANNA Terra Professional or CANNA Terra Professional Plus. Press the potting mix lightly. Airiness is very important for the development of a good root system.
Never sow too deep since this will prevent the germinated seed from emerging from the ground and the plants will not develop. Generally speaking a sowing depth of around 1.5 cm is sufficient.
In order to stimulate better root growth and to assist the plants in establishing themselves it is recommended that you give RHIZOTONIC 2 or 3 times during the first week.
Give your plants CANNA Terra Vega in the growing phase and change to CANNA Terra Flores in the flowering phase. The flowering phase begins when the first flowers appear
