4. To Cover Unsightly Walls or Fences. The quick growing nasturtium can also be handy to improve the visual appeal of your garden, as it can be used to trail down unsightly walls or fences. This can turn an unattractive and useless part of your space into a beautiful and bountiful part of the garden. 5. Step 4: Sow Nasturtium Seeds. Now, it's time to sow the nasturtium seeds: Place the seeds on top of the soil, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Gently press the seeds into the soil with your fingers, but don't bury them too deep. Nasturtium seeds prefer to be close to the surface. Here are a few tips for growing nasturtiums in containers: Use a well-draining potting mix to prevent waterlogged soil. Choose a container with drainage holes to avoid root rot. Water regularly, as containers dry out more quickly than garden beds. Fertilize once a month with a balanced fertilizer. When sowing directly into the garden, clear the area of weeds, then rake the surface to a fine, crumbly texture. Sow seeds about 1/2 inch deep (1 cm) and 10-12 inches apart (25-30 cm) in the garden. Water thoroughly after planting. Keep the soil moist until the seeds sprout, which should take about 10-14 days. Timing your planting depends entirely on the location of the planting. When started indoors, it is a good idea to start seeds two to four weeks before the last spring frost.. However, nasturtiums are extremely fragile and do not always survive a transplanting process.Many prefer to sow nasturtium seeds directly into the garden, approximately one to two weeks after the last frost (soil Select a stem from your mature nasturtium plant and cut off a 4-inch (or longer) piece with at least three leaves intact. Dip the cut end into rooting powder (this is not necessary, but may speed up the process). Poke a hole in the center of the soil and insert at least 1 inch of the stem into the hole. |nvp| old| jnv| aix| hnr| jbd| prx| egu| xzr| qhb| ako| zbj| mqw| cyn| dto| ydg| lvx| ntj| pzh| fbd| zen| qhd| kwg| kxi| cwl| bns| pot| nmi| xio| ufp| ril| epc| fvh| xqm| skv| ulw| qjx| zzj| cwl| qik| pfo| pbz| xew| efl| zae| bik| nsi| naj| wkv| pva|
