GROWING METHOD OF ANTIRRHINUM PLANT:

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.

Feeding: Over-manuring may result in poor quality flowers. Fresh compost should be added to soil at the time of planting.

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.
