POPPY
Papaver rhoeas
Annual plant that reaches 10-60 cm in height. It blooms in spring, but it can also do so in other seasons. Sow at the beginning of spring or in autumn; indoors, you can do it all year round. The optimal temperature for germination is between 15/18ºC. Keep the substrate moist, avoiding flooding until germination occurs, which takes 6-20 days. When the plants begin to grow, place the biodegradable pot into a final pot of at least 20 cm with drainage. Position it in a very sunny spot and water when the substrate surface is dry. They do not tolerate excess moisture.

Keep the substrate constantly moist until germination, which occurs about two weeks after sowing. When the plant reaches 10 cm, transplant it into a 20 cm pot in a sunny position. It is not demanding about the type of soil; use universal substrate and enrich it with humus when the flowers begin to sprout. Water frequently, avoiding flooding. It blooms from April to June. The petals are edible.
SUNFLOWER
Helianthus annuus
Spring is the ideal time for sowing, although you can also do it indoors throughout the year, making sure you put them where there are the optimal conditions to germinate. The optimal temperature for germination is 15ºC. It’s advisable to soak the seeds for 24 hours before sowing them. Germination occurs in about 10-12 days, depending on the conditions. When the plants reach 10-15 cm in height, transplant them into 20 cm pots with drainage holes. Use a universal substrate and enrich it with humus when the flowers begin to sprout. They bloom in summer, and the seeds are harvested in autumn, after about 90 days.
