The best location and the right earth

Phlox likes a well-drained loamy soil. Depending on the plant variety, the soil should be relatively nutrient-rich to rather nutrient-poor. In the perennial phlox, it is recommended to give well-rotted compost in spring. Early flowering varieties tolerate no sunny part, while the meadow phlox likes it sunny.

The best planting time

It is best to plant your phlox in the spring. However, container plants with well-developed roots can be easily planted throughout the year, provided that the soil is frost-free. The one-year Phlox is not hardy. He is preferred in moderately warm and planted after the sacred ice.

Planting in a bucket

Phlox can also be planted very well in the tub. Select the planter so big that there is still about 10 cm space around the root ball. Drill a few drain holes in the bottom of the bucket so that excess water can drain well. Put some potsherds on it or fill in some coarse gravel. This drainage layer also helps to prevent waterlogging.

Sow phlox

The phlox germinates very easily. If it is not cut after flowering, then it is self-sufficient. Since it belongs to the cold germs, the sowing should take place between September and December. The seeds need cool temperatures around 5 ° C for a short time to germinate.

Multiply phlox

The flaming flower is relatively easy to multiply, with division being the simplest method. Also, the propagation by Kopfstecklinge is possible. With these methods, you get identical plants as the mother plant while the collected seeds are not necessarily sorted.
