How to Grow Zinnia from Seed in Containers

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!

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.

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 🙂

[@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.

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!

[@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! 🍀

[@wacoharder]

I’m surprised you didn’t mention “pinching “ the main stem to encourage more lateral growth. Still, mine tend to get very tall and fall over.

[@Liap]

Hello, we have quite windy over here, I didn't want these plants to grow wider, they would be overthrown constantly in those small containers. Especially when they dry out.

[@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 🙂

[@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.

[@judywho2249]

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

[@Liap]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@jencannataro]

Hi, Thanks for the video. What size pots are they in at full growth?

[@Ruqaia.s]

I have a question about watering water, when and how much. The leaves always turn yellow and die, and how much time is in the sun? Thanks

[@Liap]

Watering depends on the growing conditions and the stage of plants. They will require more frequent watering once they start to produce flowers. Make sure the soil is moist at all times. The best time to water zinnias is in the morning. Water them throughly and don’t water again before the top 1cm of the soil is dry. 🌱🍀

Zinnias grow and flower best in full sun 🌞🌼🌸

[@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

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

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.

[@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.

I used balanced water soluble fertilizer and compost tea with zinnias. There are for sure better options for flowers, that are richer in phosphorus, but these worked well.
