Zinnia cultivation report

Let’s grow a new variety of zinnia “Profusion cherry bicolor”

Hi. I’m the Zinnia fairy Carla. Zinnia is the so-called zinnia. The flowers bloom as long as they bloom for a hundred days. The characteristic of zinnia is that it is durable. Resistant to heat and illness. It is a zinnia that is easy to bloom even for beginners who are trying to grow from seeds for the first time because it is resistant to dryness. Among such zinnias, this profusion species is particularly strong and easy to grow, and it is made to grow a lot of flowers, so it can be cultivated with confidence. This cherry-by-color is a new color variation, and it is interesting that the color changes even after the flowers bloom, so please try it.

Zinnia profusion cherry bicolor “almost weekly” cultivation report

5/2 start
Seed planting
Carla
It’s a relatively large seed, so it’s easy to germinate. And this shape looks like a weed seed that relentlessly sticks to sweaters and trousers when walking in the fields, but it doesn’t stick to it.
5/9
Does not germinate!
Carla
If it is a pod, it will germinate in a few days, but it seems that it will take some time to plant it in the ground.
5/16
Germination!
Carla
Came out! Put the seeds on your head a little … Introducing Futaba, which is easy to understand.
5/23
Leaves come out
Carla
It’s early from here! And strong! There is no worm-eaten, and even a little impression does not cause the tip of the leaf to die.
5/30
Leaves increase
Carla
I will gradually increase the leaves at my own pace. It’s not a way to increase the number of leaves that grow thick, but anyway, there is no worm-eaten or dead leaves, so you can feel at ease.
6/6
More leaves
Carla
It’s like this after a month. It’s quite my own pace, but I’m relieved with zero worm-eaten and zero leaf withering.
6/13
The plant height begins to grow
Carla
It started to grow up little by little. But about 30-40 cm. It’s rather small and well-balanced, isn’t it? So, no worm-eaten
6/20
Wide leaves
Carla
It’s about time for buds to form. The leaves are wide and store energy that grows and continues to bloom for 100 days. I was hit by an insect for a while, but it seems that I stopped eating on the way. Zinnia is strong!
6/27
Bud grows
Carla
A cute candy-like bud that is hard and shiny. From now on, it will gradually become a flower over time. A nice color with glossy leaves!
7/4
Flowering starts slowly
Carla
It’s okay that it has begun to bloom, but it’s very slow and unfussy. Moreover, the petals are stick-shaped like chalk. How do the flowers bloom from here?
7/11
Flowering!
Carla
It has bloomed! It is a cute flower that looks like a candy. Isn’t it surprising that the square chalk-like petals transform into such a colorful color? And new buds are being made one after another
7/18
Flowers increase while metabolizing
Carla
Withered flowers, new flowers, this metabolism has begun. There are overwhelmingly more new flowers.
7/25
Flowers increase
Carla
A little pinkish flowers have begun to stand out.
7/31
More and more!
Carla
Just a pink carpet! ?? It is a great number of flowers. And there are still more buds!
8/8
Start pollination
Carla
Zinnia (Zinnia) has a slightly special mechanism, and although it looks like one flower, the yellow part in the middle (tubular flower) and the white & pink petal-like part (tongue-shaped flower) are independent. It’s a flower. Both the yellow flower in the middle and the white & pink flowers have stamens and pistils. Speaking of which, there is a yellow sloppy thing on the pink petals, right? This is the pistil of the petal-shaped flower. It’s a dignified and twice delicious flower.
8/15
Tubular flowers fall and seeds begin to form
Carla
Because it is a zinnia, the flowers that have been in bloom for a very long time, but when pollinated, the yellow tubular flower in the middle gradually falls, and the petal-shaped tongue-shaped flowers around it also die, and finally seeds are formed.
8/22
It keeps blooming while metabolizing
Carla
The pollinated flowers have swelling in the middle and seeds. On the other hand, buds will be formed one after another, even if they are about to bloom. It ’s a zinnia with a long flowering season.
8/29
End of flower-harvest of seeds
Carla
When the middle is fluffy, it’s finally time to harvest the seeds.
Carla
A lot of seeds have been generated!
