Number of seeds per gram (aprox): 1687
Sowing
- Surface sow seeds by pressing them lightly into the soil. Don't cover; they need light to germinate.
- We suggest Ugaoo's Potting Mix for better results.
- Best time to sow: October to November, at the start of the cool season.
- During this time, mist gently; don't drench. Keep the surface moist.
Germination
- Seeds sprout in 7-14 days.
- Keep the soil surface lightly moist; mist gently every 1-2 days.
- Once sprouts appear, move to a bright spot with direct sun.
Transplanting
- Transplant once seedlings have 3-4 true leaves, usually after 20-25 days.
- Transplant into a pot (at least 20 cm deep) with Ugaoo's Potting Mix.
- Transplant in the evening. Water well after.
Growing
- Needs direct sun, at least 6 hours daily.
- Water when the topsoil feels dry. Strawflowers are drought tolerant; don't overwater.
- Use a pot with drainage holes.
- Space plants 20-30 cm apart.
- Feed lightly with cow manure every 25 days.
- Use neem cake and neem oil spray if pests appear.
Aftercare & Post-Harvest
- Helichrysum declines as temperatures rise from February.
- Once flowering slows, pull the plant out.
- Allow some flower heads to dry and save seeds for next season.
Harvesting
- Flowers bloom in 70-90 days.
- For fresh arrangements, cut when blooms are just opening.
- For drying, cut at the same stage and hang upside down in a dry, airy spot for 2-3 weeks.
- A healthy plant blooms continuously for 2-3 months.
