Cultivation mode
Plantation : Sow the seeds 5-6 weeks before the last frost. Keep the temperature between 23-26 °C. Germination time is between 7-10 days. Soak seed in water for 10-14 hours will help soften the seed coat and improve germination. It is important to sow Canna fairly deep (1.5 times its diameter or more) otherwise upon emergence it tends to push itself out of the soil. For best branching, when transplanting, the seedling should be planted so that the final soil level is right up to the level of where the first set of leaves flare out.
Soil : Indoor: A well-drained, porous sowing media is best to prevent overwatering. Outdoor: Moist soil.
Culturals practices : Step 1: plow the soil about 30 cm (12 inches). Add an equal part of potting soil and mix well. Dig a hole approximately the same length as the container and about 1 ½ to 3 times the width. Step 2: slightly squeeze the container, tap out the plant, and delicately free the roots. If the roots are too dense, liberate the fibers by inserting a knife or a transplanter. Separate the roots carefully, then place in the hole.* Good to know: Use an organic bone meal or a «soil activator» when transplanting to stimulate root development. Follow the instructions for use on the package. Fill up the hole with garden soil. Slightly press the soil around the base of the plant to favor the contact between the roots and the soil. Water regularly every 2 or 3 days until the soil is well compacted.
