3. Growing Method of Antirrhinum Mix Flower Plant:

• In India, seeds are sown during September-October. In low rainfall areas, sowing can be done as early as July.
• Seeds are sown thinly in nursery beds/ seed pans/seedling trays.
• If sowing is to be done in bulk quantity, the seeds can be mixed with a double amount of sand.
• Before sowing the seeds, soil/coco peat should be made slightly moist.
• When seedlings are about 7-8 cm tall, they are transplanted in pots or flower beds.
• Seedlings should be transplanted in high-quality rich soil or potting mixture.


• Planting Distance: Planting in beds is done 30-40 cm apart. For pot culture, plants are grown in 25 cm pots.


• Watering: Over-Watering should be avoided as this may cause rotting. The plant does not thrive well during the rains as a certain amount of dryness around the root region is preferred by the plant.


• Plant care: Seedlings are susceptible to ‘damping off’. Also, Rust is a serious disease in Antirrhinum, particularly in hot and dry climates. Spray fungicides to control the diseases


• Bloom time: Plants take about 2.5 to 4 months to flower..
