I can't believe the little guy you transplanted, flowered in 6 weeks! Wow..

[@ramalama9650]

This video appeared in my recommendations. It was only when I saw the link that I realised I have bought poppy seeds from you. Excellent quality, they grew beautifully.

[@mirandabri834]

Was you able to get anything useful from them,.....

[@ramalama9650]

Not too sure. They grew well but among other seeds I had planted. I gathered them all together cropping time.@@mirandabri834

Great video, very informative. Please keep em coming

This is fantastic info for balcony gardening. Thanks!

[@Ds4u2]

A lot of people seem to say that pinching is recommended. Do you do it and how do you do it if you do?

[@yohaanchuu]

Beautiful

[@cleoharper1842]

I had no idea you could transplant poppies! Good to know, thank you so much. Do you have any plans to upload tips on your bush poppies in particular? I'm just about to start indoors, in pots.

[@PUREPOPPIES]

Thanks, I’m glad you found it interesting! Yes, there are lots of videos that are in the making and there will be several about the bush poppy, is there anything in particular that you’d like me to include?

[@cleoharper1842]

@@PUREPOPPIES The only thing I think of off hand is how to protect them from a hot climate while still giving access to a lot of sunlight. My house is only so big 😅

[@PUREPOPPIES]

That’s a great question! When growing inside the house I try to get the pots as close as possible to south-facing windows, the key thing is to keep the windows open or ajar as often as possible- obviously this is not always possible for security reasons! It’s also a very good idea to have some sort of fan blowing on them if possible, this really helps with ventilation as well as temperature control. It can be a really low powered fan, a mini oscillating desk or floor fan is best but I have also used 12v PC fans which have the bonus of being virtually silent. In reality, all Somniferum poppies can actually cope with very high temperatures as they are native to the southern Mediterranean and the Middle East, therefore ventilation is actually more important than temperature control.

[@cleoharper1842]

@@PUREPOPPIES WOW that's so helpful! Thank you so much. I would never have thought of using a fan! It also means I can put them on my south-facing porch, which I was really worried about before. One last question, I promise: where is it I'm aiming for with the fan when they get taller? Root level, leaves or heads? Sorry, I'm really very much a beginner.

[@PUREPOPPIES]

It’s no problem honestly! You should look to prioritise the top of the plant (flowers/pods/leaves) as that is always the youngest part of the plant and therefore the most vulnerable to damage. By the time the stem has grown, the bottom leaves can withstand a lot of damage and not affect the health of the rest of the plant. The best way to prevent the soil and roots from getting too hot is to spread a thin layer of perlite over the top of the soil - the white perlite will reflect the radiant heat of the sun while also allowing the soil to breathe and absorb water.

How old was that smallest one you have transplanted?

[@CannaGro81]

I've heard they are hard 2 transplant due 2 the fact that they only have 1 taproot Hats off 2 you it's a beautiful poppie

[@jakefilmore]

I was told the same about long tap roots, you must need to transplant them quite early if that's the case?

[@CannaGro81]

@jakefilmore I agree. I think if I had planted in August it would have been fine

[@jakefilmore]

@@CannaGro81 I'm in northern Ontario, Canada, we only get a decent 3 months growing season, lol, trying to figure out if it's best to start indoors or not?

[@CannaGro81]

@@jakefilmore i grow indoors medical cannabis .I've tried a poppie indoors and was very disappointed. I'm sure it can be done

[@jakefilmore]

@@CannaGro81 I did see a video in Britain where someone grew poppies in pots on their window sill & they did develope pods so it is possible. I think i will try it both ways as i have loads of seeds from afgan.

[@dmw_cutlery]

how many pods an adult plant can make

[@berndmayer1765]

What soil? What against the aphids???

[@gamingwithkev8208]

someone told me I was watering mines too much but I'm doing just the same and draining thr excess off into the bottom portion my pot is in

[@PUREPOPPIES]

It’s better to heavily water less often than light watering more often, you want the water to be deep down in the pot so that the roots have to grow down to find it

[@coletteohara2863]

@@PUREPOPPIES How often do you water Thank you

[@manueltorres8955]

hello friend, how much space does each plant need?

[@PUREPOPPIES]

Hi there, the more space the better - 12 inches (30cm) is optimal but 6 inches minimum

You can transplant it but don't disturbing the roots

[@PUREPOPPIES]

Exactly! 💯

[@SubvertTheState]

Yeah I'm freaked out about transplanting mine. Ive always thought they couldn't be transplanted, but they either are going to die or I transplant them. So I'm going to try haha. Maybe I'll comment again in a month or so and report back how it turned out
