Growing features.
As a tropical flower, zinnia prefers to grow in open areas, illuminated by the sun throughout the day.
It is in such places that the features and beauty of the varieties are fully revealed. In semi-shaded areas, the plants stretch out, the inflorescences develop poorly, become smaller, darken and rot. The main enemy of zinnia is cold rainy weather: the plants stop blooming, dark necrotic spots appear on the leaves and flowers, and there is a risk of developing the disease "black leg".
Otherwise, zinnias are very unpretentious and grateful plants. They grow on any light loamy soils and love abundant watering, respond well to fertilizing with mineral fertilizers. Excess organic matter, as with most plants, leads to active growth of green mass to the detriment of flowering. The plants are drought-resistant, but in a dry summer without watering they quickly fade.
