Watering, fertilizing, cutting and more

Plant the Cosmea

In order for your Cosmea to bloom profusely as desired, it needs a lot of sun. plants Place the jewelry basket in a bright place with a permeable and rather poor soil. The pH value does not play an important role here. However, it should be warm. The Cosmea is unfortunately not hardy and does not tolerate temperatures below about 15 ° C. Therefore, you should only plant the decorative basket in the garden after the ice saints.

Water and fertilize the Cosmea

As a rule, the Cosmea does not have to be poured. If the drought persists for a long time, then water the plant only moderately. The Cosmea should only be watered well when it is freshly planted. On the other hand, she doesn't need fertilizer at all, not even during the Heyday.

Cut the cosmea

In order for your Cosmea to bloom for a long time, you should cut off the withered flowers regularly. This stimulates the plant to form new buds. For a bushy growth, you can cut back your jewelry basket a little from time to time. However, do not accidentally cut off all of the flower stems. Incidentally, the Cosmea is also an excellent cut flower for the vase.

The cosmea multiply

The Cosmea is easy to multiply. Often it even does it by itself, putting itself together. Young plants often grow where they are not wanted at all. You can only prevent this by stopping the seed from ripening and removing the seed heads in good time.

For targeted propagation, one is recommended sowing from the end of February on the warm windowsill. By the time they were planted out after the Ice Saints, the seedlings had grown into strong plants.
