1. Growing Season

Winter

2.Sunlight requirement:

Part Time sunlight (4-5 hours)

3. Growing Method of Pansy Mix Flowers Plant:

• The seeds are sown in January-February
• Fine sandy soil is required for seedbed (Outdoors), or coco peat is used as sowing medium for seedling trays (Indoors).
• Before sowing the seeds, soil/coco peat should be made slightly moist.
• Transplanting of seedlings is done in pots or flower beds at 6-leaf stage.
• Seedlings should be transplanted in high-quality rich soil or potting mixture.
• On large flower beds, seeds can be sown directly and then thinned out 22-30 cm apart.


• Planting Distance: When the plants are allowed to grow bushy, space them wide. Overcrowded plants do not produce good blooms. For pot culture, grow a single plant in 25 cm pot.


• Watering:Plenty of watering during growth stage is required. Soil should stay moist all the time with flood irrigation once a week. In dry conditions, leaves wither and drop off.


• Plant care: Balsam is affected by powdery mildew throughout the year. The presence of fungal infection can be detected by greyish-white spots or patches covered with powdery mass. Spray appropriate fungicides like Uthane or Bavistin immediately after spotting infection.


• Bloom time: Flowers start appearing 60 days after sowing and blooming period lasts for about 15-20 days.
