How to Grow Zinnia from Seed in Containers

[@mcadoovicky6465]

I ❤zinnia flowers, but they often end up with powdery mildew a lot sooner than later. Thank you for sharing your video!

[@Liap]

Yes they do 😕 pruning bottoms can help as prevention, but If the weather is too rainy, most of the time they will get the mildew. If you grow them in pots, it’s easier to control, as you can move them around as you need 🙂 Thank you very much for watching and taking time to leave a comment!

[@ahmedbounce3053]

I was inspired by this video to grow Zinnias Thanks a lot! I have question how often to water new seeds?

[@Liap]

Thank You very much! I am very glad You are! You mean new seeds after planting them? Not much, just to keep the soil moist. Most likely You won't have to until they germinate. If You want to make sure You don't have to until that moment, use some plastic wrappings over them with tiny holes. That will keep the moisture in the soil.

[@asifali007]

you used 60% vermicompost and 40% garden soil when starting along with perlite n peat moss?

[@victoreezz]

I have one from a gift and i love this plant already. ❤

[@instintocriativo6658]

Até quantas sementes seria o ideal para plantar em cada vaso? Um caloroso olá do brasil🇧🇷 Ótimo vídeo guia, muito bom mesmo

[@billnmonica2010]

Do you have to leave the flower on the stem to get seeds or can you clip a fresh one and let it dry out?

[@Liap]

Hello. Well, You can harvest green seeds and dry them out, but make sure that each seed contains an embryo. You don't have to wait until they fully dry on plants.

[@pidpit4397]

Nice video. thank you!

[@Liap]

Thank You very much! ☺

[@kayta5946]

Hi there I was expecting you to thin them! Do they like being crowded? Thanks so much

[@Liap]

Hello there. Yes zinnias can be grown in clumps. They support each other that way in strong wind. They don't like being crowded though.

[@pamelaperez7657]

Thanks for this soothing and calm video... Can we keep seeds for the next season? Will it remain good? And please tell me for how many seasons we can keep the seeds as I am going to order online and it will be 200-300 seeds but i dont have huge space for growing. So i am planning to save seeds. Will it be good for 2-3 yrs? I know i have asked some silly questions but i am new to plant flowers so please help me❤

[@Liap]

Hello. Yes the seeds can be kept for next season. They will have good germination rate for about 2-3 years, then it can start decreasing over the next years. Not silly questions at all! Feel free to ask anything related to growing plants, I will do my best to answer. Thank You very much, I am very happy You like the video!

[@ThatLadyDray]

I didn't realize a small container was an option. If you don't mind sharing, what size containers were those & do you think giant varieties would work using this method? Thank you for sharing the information you've already shared in the video.

[@Liap]

Hello, these pots are 17cm in diameter (6,7in) and 18cm in height (7in). I would go for bigger containers for those. My ones were sometimes struggling to handle the wind. Especially when dry. You can grow zinnias in small space, but if You want them to grow plenty of flowers for the whole season (f.e. for cutting), fertilizing is a must. Thank you very much for watching 🙂

[@ThatLadyDray]

@@Liap thank you for taking the time to read my comment, reply, & share information. I appreciate it truly. May the growing season be good to you. Wishing you well & good harvests from the USA. 🙏🏽🌱

[@KerryScottCooke7402]

Would you suggest clipping the tops when the plants are small to encourage more stems on one plant? I mean clip the tops as you do for tomatoes 🍅? TIA

[@Liap]

Yes, You can do it that way 🙂 when they are around 15cm (6") tall.

[@yaoizai]

am i supposed to water the flower everyday?

[@karenmartinez8176]

Thank you, I was wondering if you could save the seeds.

[@starsearchreject]

Did you have to thin them? Or did you just let them grow?

[@Liap]

I did not thin them. Zinnias can be grown in clumps. Just prune the bottoms so they are not so easily infected with mildew, especially in spring and autumn.

[@Tauf4]

Thank you for this video. I am starting zinnias from seed this year. What does pruning from the bottom mean?

[@Liap]

Zinnias are very prone to mildew, especially when the ground is wet during night time and bottom leaves are first to "get sick" due to high humidity coming from the soil. Especially during spring and autumn when nights are still quite cold. Thank you very much for watching!

[@Tauf4]

@@Liap Thank you! I will try that this year.

[@Liap]

Hello. These pots are 17cm in diameter (6,7in) and 18cm in height (7in).

[@alotvines903]

Love the video! Are you just planting 2 seeds together in the smaller pots? Can i also just use perlite and topsoil if i fertilize regularly?

[@Liap]

Hello, it's about 3 seeds. Well, You can, though if the topsoil where You live is like here (loamy), after some watering/drying it will become hard and tough for plants to grow their roots in. Mix in some compost, Your plants will grow better 🙂 Thank You very much! 🍀

[@karoline6239]

Hello, how big do you recommend the pot to be for zinnia isabellina? Can I plant 3 seeds per pot?

[@Liap]

Hello. Yes You can grow them in clumps. They will actually support each other. I'd go for at least 7.5l (2gal) containers for 3 plants. You can try in smaller ones, but be prepared to water them frequently and fertilze regulary.

[@vhshomevideomemories9624]

You don’t cut them to make them “bushier” and possibly grow a few flowers instead of one stem?

[@Liap]

Hello, when grown in garden or larger containers, yes. But in small pots like these I don’t cut them. We have quite windy over here and they would be turning over. Small pots are very prone to turn over, especially when they dry out.

[@souravpal4636]

😍😍 just woww

[@cleytianedias2874]

[@AJ-bf6hw]

Do you pinch them out?

[@Liap]

Not these. The containers were small and pinching would result in larger plants. In garden or in containers grown separately - yes.

[@judywho2249]

Great video! Did you put 2-3 seeds in each pot?

[@Liap]

Even more. 3-5 I think. Thank You very much! ☺🍀

[@ibrahimuzair08]

Hi..so youre telling we can directly sow them in pots without separately making a seedling ..thanks.what would be the potsize though?

[@Liap]

Yes, absolutely! Especially if You grow zinnias in clumps. That way they support each other. The container size depends on the amount of plants in it. Zinnias can grow in quite small containers well, but will grow more vigorously if You give them more space.

[@chriscdtan]

Hope you can educate me on this. The more we water, the more the soil is hardened. How to deal with this. Hope there will be one video about pot soil maintenance.

[@Liap]

Hello. I use garden lime. Just a handful can improve the soil structure. Be careful when using both, garden lime and wood ash, it's just a handful of each 🙂

[@BrendaHudelson-rk3nm]

Do zinnias need to be spaced out.

[@Liap]

You can either space them out or grow them in clumps by 2-4 plants. with bigger distance between the clumps.

[@ragcats2011]

What is the sprayer you used to water called? Great video, thank you!

Pressure sprayer, or as You called it - water sprayer 🙂 Thank You very much, I am glad You like the video! ☺🍀

[@elizabethwilburg3596]

Fertilizing them regularly as in? How often???

[@Liap]

Every 7-10 days

[@deshgouri]

What size are these containers? I overestimated my space and I have too many seedlings. Wondering how many I can squeeze in together in a ~6 inch pot

[@Liap]

Hello, these pots are 18cm (7in) tall and 17cm (6.7in) in diameter. If you are going to prune them a bit, you can grow 3-4 plants while feeding them a lot. Without pruning, two plants at most, preferably just one.

[@deshgouri]

@@Liap wow. That's super helpful. Thanks a ton 😊 ❤️

[@Liap]

@@deshgouri 🍀🙂

[@ebonybryant5681]

You said their heavy feeders so when do I fertilize my zinnias? I just sowed the seeds a few days ago

[@Liap]

When they start to produce flowers. I mean You can start anywhere from transplanting with lower concentration and gradually increase. But zinnias become heavy feeders when they start to grow flowers. That would be the point, when to start feeding them, especially if You want to be cutting flowers, for more frequent growth of new flowers.

Hi i have now around 4-5 flowers in my zinnia plant, after the flowering season over do the plant die? Because now few leaves are already drying.. N also i collected seeds from completely dried flowers.

[@Liap]

Hello, when the season is over and frost arrives, zinnias will die. They are grown as annuals. We've already had first frost over here, they are not completely dead, but they are far from thriving. Their time is up. That's great You have Your own seeds now! 🙂🍀

@@Liap Thank you so much. If we prune flowers and stems during the season, does it help to grow more flowers during the blooming season?

​@@kavitha9943 Yes, if You prune flowers that are blooming off, plants will use the energy they would use on ripening seeds, to grow new flowers.
