How to Propagate Creeping zinnias?
Creeping zinnias are typically propagated by seeds, which can be sown directly or started indoors. Key factors for successful growth include well-draining soil, consistent moisture without waterlogging, and full to partial sunlight. The ideal temperature for germination is between 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit. Special care should be taken to avoid deep burying of seeds as they require light to germinate. Propagation is generally easy, with few challenges beyond ensuring appropriate light and moisture levels. For seed propagation, follow these steps: 1) Prepare a seed tray with a well-draining soil mix. 2) Scatter seeds on the surface and lightly press them into the soil. 3) Keep the soil consistently moist with a spray bottle. 4) Cover the tray with plastic to maintain humidity until germination. 5) Once sprouted, remove the cover and provide ample light. 6) Thin seedlings if necessary. 7) Transplant outdoors after the risk of frost has passed.
