🌸✨ Nature’s Cotton Candy Rose – A Masterpiece of Colors ✨🌸

Have you ever seen a rose that looks as if it has been hand-painted by an artist with the softest brush strokes? This enchanting bloom is exactly that—a living masterpiece where shades of white, pink, and aqua blue dance together in perfect harmony. Every petal appears delicately swirled, like pastel strokes on a canvas, creating the illusion of a flower born out of a dream. 🌈💫

🪴How to Plant? 🪴

1. Choose the Right Container

You can start seeds in almost any type of container, as long as it's at least 2-3 inches deep and has drainage holes. If you prefer to DIY, you can use yogurt cups, milk cartons, or even paper cups to plant seedlings.

2. Potting Soil

Choose potting soil suitable for seedlings.

Note: Do not use soil from your garden or reuse potting soil from houseplants. It's best to use a fresh, sterile soil mix to ensure healthy, disease-free seedlings.

3. Planting

Some small seeds can be sown directly on the soil surface. Seeds for larger batches need to be buried. After sowing, moisten the newly planted seeds. To speed germination, cover the pot with damp paper or plastic wrap. This will help keep the seeds dry until they sprout. Cover them when you see the first hint of green.

4. Water, Fertilize, Repeat

As the seedlings grow, keep the soil dry, but not waterlogged. Water twice a day to allow the soil to dry out slightly. Be sure to fertilize the seedlings regularly.

5. Light

Set the light to a timer for 15 hours daily. If planting near a window, choose a south-facing spot. Rotate the plant regularly to prevent it from becoming overly oriented. If planting under lights, adjust the light position so that the pot is only a few inches from the top of the seedling. Remember, seedlings also need darkness to rest. As the seedlings grow taller, add more seeds.

6. Move Outdoors

It is not a good idea to move seedlings directly from a sheltered area in your home to the garden. You've already been caring for these seedlings for several weeks, so they need to gradually acclimate to the outdoors. About a week before you plan to move the seedlings to the garden, place them outdoors in a sheltered area (partially shaded and out of the wind) for a few hours. Move them to the garden in the evening. Gradually, over a week or ten days, introduce them to increasing amounts of sunlight and wind. A cold frame is a good place for plants to harden.
