Dos
<b>1.WATERING: </b><br>Water deeply once a week, or more frequently during hot, dry periods. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. When grown in containers, water at least once or twice per week<br> <b>2.SUNLIGHT: </b><br>Ensure the plants receive full sun, with at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. Sunflowers are heliotropic, meaning they track the sun's movement throughout the day. <br> <b>3.SOIL: </b><br>Plant in well-draining, moderately fertile soil with a slightly acidic pH between 6.0 and 6.8. Incorporating compost can enhance soil fertility and drainage. <br> <b>4.FERTILIZING: </b><br>If your soil is fertile, additional fertilization may not be necessary. For containers or less fertile soils, apply a balanced, granular fertilizer (e.g., NPK 10-10-10) before planting. For potted plants, or if garden soil is not fertile, apply a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month throughout the growing season
