Plant Care🪴
☀️ Sunlight:
Cosmos plants grow best in full sun. In Qatar, give them morning sunlight and light afternoon shade to protect them from extreme midday heat. At least 6 hours of sun daily encourages healthy growth and abundant flowers.
💧 Watering:
Water deeply but not too often. Allow the soil to dry slightly between watering. During cooler months, watering once or twice a week is enough; in warmer periods, increase slightly but avoid overwatering.
🌼 Fertilizer:
Cosmos plants need very little fertilizer. Too much feeding causes leafy growth and fewer flowers. If necessary, apply a light balanced fertilizer once a month.
✂️ Pruning:
Remove faded flowers regularly to promote continuous blooming. Trim leggy stems to keep the plant bushy and well-shaped.
