Growing zinnias 8– 14 Days

PROFILE:
Dwarf zinnia
Plant about half a centimeter
deep, not too close together,
and cover with soil.
From the end of April
8–14 Days
Germination temperature 18–22 °C (65–72 °F)
Very little water and fertilizer
July–September
Re-flowers well and can therefore be cut for
indoor arrangements.
Zinnias need about a week
to germinate. Then you will
be able to see the first green
sprouts pushing cautiously out of the
soil toward the daylight.
You will be able to do more
zinnia experiments soon.
Take a look at Experiments
13 and 15.

Blooming branches 3 Weeks

If you cut cherry branches in
early December and put them
in a vase with water, they will
bloom by Christmas Eve.

If you put the branches
inside, the brightness and
heat will send the signal that
it’s spring. The buds will bloom and
leaves will sprout from the twigs.
Doing this is called "forcing the
branches."

In addition to cherry tree
branches, ones from apple,
pear, plum, and forsythia
trees will also work well. The
water in the vase should be
lukewarm. Cut the branch
at a sharp angle. Have your
parents help you with this.
