Seeding method of zinnia
Zinnia is now cultivated by seed propagation, which is convenient and fast. Even novices who have never planted it will not have great technical difficulty. If you choose zinnia for cutting propagation, it should be noted that some water should be sprinkled on the cutting surface of the original plant before cutting, so that the nutrients and water after grafting can be better transported to the branches and leaves.

Before planting zinnia, turn over the soil with a small shovel or hoe to make the soil soft, which is beneficial to the germination of planting. After drilling out of the ground, the subsequent roots can breathe more smoothly. After planting zinnia, we should pay special attention to the weather factors. If there is no rain in a short time, artificial irrigation should be carried out in time to prevent plants from dying without water in the fragile growth period of childhood.
