Maintain temperatures between 18°C - 24°C. Avoid draughts as these can create undesirable temperature fluctuations. Consider giving your plant an occasional misting twice every week to maintain the optimum humidity level.
Provide fertilizer once the first true leaves emerge. The first set of leaves that appear are known as the seed leaves. The second set of leaves are the first ‘true leaves,’ and a sign that your plant is getting mature and ready for serious growth. Dilute a balanced fertilizer to ¼ the strength recommended. Fertilize once in 2 weeks.
Brighten your garden with the radiant charm of sunflower seeds, a classic favorite that combines beauty, height, and versatility. Sunflowers are admired worldwide for their towering stems, large golden blooms, and ability to track the sun, adding a cheerful touch to any outdoor space in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah.
Features & Benefits:
Sunflowers are not only ornamental but also highly functional. They attract pollinators, improve soil health, and can be grown for edible seeds rich in nutrients. Their bold flowers make stunning cut arrangements, while the seeds can be harvested for healthy snacks or bird feed.
Growing Instructions:
Sow sunflower seeds directly in well-drained soil under full sun. Plant seeds 2–3 cm deep and space them 30–45 cm apart. Water regularly but avoid waterlogging. Germination occurs within 7–10 days, and plants grow quickly, reaching full bloom within 8–12 weeks. Support taller varieties with stakes if needed.
Compatible Plants & Care Tips:
Pair sunflowers with cucumbers, squash, or beans, as they provide natural support and shade. Avoid overcrowding for best growth. Fertilize moderately with compost to boost flowering and seed production.
With their towering beauty and multiple uses, sunflower seeds are the perfect choice for UAE home gardens and landscapes.
