Wow! Up till now, I've never seen any locals growing aster or chrysanthemum. Your flowers are beautiful! I'm actually trying to grow aster powder puff. It's been more than a week and I see nothing yet. Not sure if they're still germinating or I've somehow killed them. =/ Do these two plants require special care?
ReplyDeletePerennial aster do not require special care as long as it has enough water and sunlight. Powder puff aster is an annua . usually it will germinate within 5-7 days. I think your seed is already dead that is why it is still no sign or germination after a week. I suggest you buy this year seed. Thompson and Morgan is a good place to order seeds, so far my germination rate between 80-90%.
DeleteChrysanthemum needs regular fertilizer and partial shade, I notice purple, yellow and white performed very well in the lowland tropic.
I see, maybe you're right. The seeds might already be dead but I've still got quite a bit of aster seeds left so I'll try to use cold stratification method to germinate them and see how it goes. And thanks for the tips. Much appreciated!
