huiz SG If i buy those sunflower seeds from supermarkets and plant them, will they grow? are they processed in any way that will prevent them from growing into plants?
huiz SG cos i tried growing dwarf sunflowers(from those pre-packed seedlings) but not very successful. i had one which managed to grow for weeks but it never bloom. it has since died already. so i was thinking if i can grow the bigger version of the sunflowers using those edilble sunflower seeds bought from the supermarket. since no one knows, i will try some to see if it will even germinate.
Phoebie SG i bought before years ago.. after the seeds started to grow into seedlings, a few days later almost all the seedlings wither perhaps i didn't transfer and divide the seedlings to other bigger pots
Pion SG I believe before the seeds are packaged, they would be sterilised either by radiation, heat, and so on for hygiene purposes (to kill bugs).
Phoebie SG i got buy the fertilisers (i buy tablet type de) display on the nearby shelvings.. in the end the seedlings wither even though "got extra nutrients"
huiz SG you meant the seeds for human consumption? by right i should leave 45-60cm space apart for each seed but i didnt. they germinated but only 3 survived, then left 1 which died.
Hocklez SG why so hard to grow? got check best grow in which type of condition? i am interested to grow one... loves flowers!
Aaron8209 SG can…coz its seed…i planted b4…U must get big pot..put it deep in…must water regularly.I planted alot of plnts b4…even green bean…I plant till the tree stage…got alot of seeds
ShrodingersCat SG Hmm ya.. i tried the dwarf sunflowers and normal giant sunflowers before started the seedlines in small pots but when they become about 3-4 inches high I transfered them to garden soil think sunflowers need well drained soil cannot water too much~
Hocklez SG good good! i go buy seed and i will post for questions when i plant it... stay tune, will start a thread here when i start...
