Precautions

Cornflower is originally born in the fields of Europe. It is cold resistant and likes cool and sunny environment. Therefore, loose and fertile sandy loam with good drainage is suitable for culture soil. The pot soil should be loose and fertile. It is best to use garden soil, rotten leaves, plant ash, etc. to form a mixed soil. When the seedlings have 6-7 leaves, carry out the first transplantation, and replace the short seedlings into the barrel basin
