PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS Soil should be collected in a garden pot mixed with well rotten cow dung or manure. Broadcast the seeds over the soil bed and cover it with a thin layer of sieved sand to allow germination. Maintain a distance of 1.0 feet between the plants. Sprinkle little water and then as per requirement keeping the soil moist. Flowering starts after 45-50 days post transplant which continues for 100-120 days depending on the variety. GROWING REQUIREMENTS SOIL Sandy loamy soil with pH 5.6 to 6.5 is ideal for its cultivation. SPOT Place in a spot that receives either full sun or partial sunlight. TEMPERATURE 20-25°C WATERING Regular watering keeps the flowers healthy. You can use a water can or a water spray. HOW TO HARVEST Loose flowers are plucked when they attain full size depending upon the variety. Flowers should generally be harvested in the morning hours. Irrigation of soil with water,before plucking, gives better flower quality. Also, plucking of flowers regularly and removal of dried flowers enhances the yield.
