CARE FOR MIXED COSMOS CUPCAKE AFTER GERMINATION

The soil does not need to be prepared for Cosmos. As a result, they prefer not to grow in too rich soil because rich soil will promote foliage instead of blooms. It is also essential that the soil drains well. Cosmos thrive in hot, dry weather. It is also drought-tolerant. This plant will self-seed in your garden. Because these plants are tall, staking may be necessary in some cases. They can likewise be grown against a fence for support. Overwatering or overfertilizing your cosmos may lead to fewer flowers. Make sure you water your plants regularly, but not excessively.
