Just enough to keep them moist . Too much and they will rot.
Yes, sunflower seeds will grow if planted in the ground, given the right conditions such as adequate sunlight, water, and soil nutrients.
In order to germinate sunflower seeds hull them. This will cause them to germinate more quickly. Put the seeds in a jar with water and they will germinate.
To propagate a sunflower, you can collect the seeds from a mature flower head and plant them in well-drained soil in a sunny location. Water the seeds regularly and watch them grow into new sunflower plants.
because of the salt on the sunflower shell
The head of a sunflower will naturally droop as it forms seeds. If your sunflower is drooping before it has even formed a head, it likely needs more water.
birds eat the sunflower seeds from the suflower
yes, tap water help sunflower seeds grow because in my honors biology class, we had to see which liquids can germinate sunflowe seeds and tap water was the one that germinated sunflowe seeds to grow...germination is when the stem grows out of the seed...soo i hope i helped youuu with my answerr
They should not eat salted sunflower seeds, the salt is toxic and can kill them. Either buy unsalted seeds or wash them with warm water for a while . Parakeets are very small so too much salt could add up quickly in them, and too many sunflower seeds may be to much fat as well. Just try a couple unsalted.
Sunflower seeds grow behind the yellow part of the sunflower. I buy sunflower seeds at Wal-Mart, as soon as February. They have very inexpensive seeds at 10 cents per package. These inexpensive seeds are usually open pollinated, or non-hybrid. This means that you can save some of the seeds for planting. Hybrid plants often produce more seeds, but those seeds are not usually good for planting. I plant sunflower seeds after the last frost where they will get full sunlight. By late fall, the seeds are mature, and I cut the flowers off the stalks, tie three or four of them together, and hang them up to dry. When dry, rubbing your hand hard over the flower will knock the seeds loose. They are still in their shells. Save some to plant next year. Eat the rest. Birds like the seeds a lot and will try to eat them off the plants.
To grow sunflowers from cut flowers, you can follow these steps: Choose a healthy sunflower head with mature seeds. Allow the sunflower head to dry out completely. Remove the seeds from the head and plant them in well-draining soil. Water the seeds regularly and place them in a sunny spot. Watch as the seeds germinate and grow into sunflower plants.
No, it depends on how you water them and how much sunlight they receive
Sunflower seeds are calorie-dense. If you eat the kernels without the hulls as a snack, it's easy to eat too many calories. It's better to limit them to a handful per day, or to sprinkle them on your cereal or salad. Salt does not cause body fat, but it can cause water retention.
