Godetia cultivation report

Because the buds are long…a flower that makes you happy when it blooms

Hello. I’m Nicole, the godetian fairy. Godetia flowers are slow to bloom. It’s been a long time since the buds were made. In addition, the leaves do not grow so much, and the number of leaves remains the same for a long time. But that’s why it’s all the more joyful when this little plant has a cute little satin flower. Unchanging everyday. And a surprise that blooms when you forget!

Godetia“almost weekly” cultivation report

5/30start
Seed planting
Nicole
Godetia has small flowers and small seeds. The germination rate is not very high, so let’s sprinkle a lot.
6/6
Germination!
Nicole
Germination next week. And after all, the germination rate is moderate because of the weak power.
6/13
Early leaf growth
Nicole
The leaves that emerge after the first leaf are usually called true leaves, but the third leaf of godetia is two-leaf.
6/20
Four leaves, little growth
Nicole
Is it a feeling like a four-leafed young leaf rather than a two-leafed one?
6/27
True leaves come out
Nicole
A bamboo leaf-shaped leaf came out slowly. This is the true leaf.
7/4
The stem begins to grow
Nicole
The number of true leaves increased, and the stem finally began to grow here. One month after seeding. Godetia is very self-paced
7/11
Struggling with insect bites
Nicole
It’s a pinch if Godetia with weak power is eaten by few leaves. I can’t cover it with the leaves that grow later, and I’m always in a lonely situation…
7/18
Stem grows
Nicole
Although it is slightly elongated (immature stem growth), the sight of it surviving with leaves growing little by little brings tears to my eyes.
7/25
Godetia flourishes like a torch
Nicole
For two whole months, if you stand still without changing the height of the plant, you will still be attacked by insects. It is Godetia, who is slowly escaping upwards and upwards.
8/1
More leaves
Nicole
As expected, when the stem grows to this height, worm-eaten is gone. It’s originally a thin stem, so when it’s this long, does the caterpillar system come to fall off in the middle?
8/8
Stop growing?
Nicole
I think there was some movement and then it stopped again. and eaten by insects. It’s a godetia that can’t quite see the future.
8/15
Got some leaves again
Nicole
Moth-eaten → Leaves on the top and come off → Moth-eaten → Leaves on the top and come off → Moth-eaten (Omitted below), and before you know it, only the stem grows and it looks like a miniature version of a palm tree.
8/22
Leaves come out and escape upwards
Nicole
Somehow connecting my life
8/29
Stop growing again
Nicole
Did you gradually see Godetia’s way of life, or rather, the roots of her personality? “I’m the type that won’t move unless I’m cornered.”
9/5
Immovable posture
Nicole
I don’t know what it is anymore, it’s becoming like a clump of grass
9/12
Breathe back
Nicole
When the intense heat of the summer has subsided somewhat, this is Godetia who will resume activities as if he remembered.
9/19
Leaves grow
Nicole
As if the soggy feeling up until the week before last was a lie, the crisp, healthy leaves have begun to align.
9/26
Stop growing again
Nicole
Excessive expectations are prohibited Godetia. I’m at my own pace
10/3
Something starts to happen on top
Nicole
I saw something sharp. It’s been 4 months since I planted the seeds. As expected, I think it’s about time to bud, but on the other hand, it’s Godetia that makes me doubt that it may be a shoulder watermark.
10/10
Buds begin to form
Nicole
Something that clearly looks like a bud popped out!
10/17
Bud not open
Nicole
Oh my God, the buds haven’t opened even after a week. are you sleeping?
10/24
Bud not yet open
Nicole
Half a month at last. it’s getting a little red
10/31
The buds are finally blooming!
Nicole
It’s finally blooming. I was worried that the buds would remain like this for a month. And when it opens it’s super fast
11/7
Flower period lasts
Nicole
As the buds are long, the flowers are also blooming for a relatively long time. It’s a pretty pink flower on a satin fabric.

One point! Cultivation of Godetia

It takes a long time for flowers to bloom and buds to form. The germination rate is not high, so I want to sow a lot of seeds and grow them carefully.

Cultivation difficulty：★★★★☆
