3. Water Gently: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy.

5. Light Requirements: Place the tray in a bright location or under grow lights.
6. Germination Time: Seeds sprout within 5 to 10 days.
7. Transplanting: Once seedlings develop 2-3 true leaves, harden them off before planting outdoors.

Direct Sowing (For Warmer Climates)

1. Choose a Sunny Location: Zinnias thrive in full sun.
2. Prepare the Soil: Loosen the soil and mix in compost for better drainage.
3. Sow Seeds: Space them 9–12 inches apart for proper air circulation.
4. Water Lightly: Keep the soil moist until germination occurs.
5. Thin Seedlings: Once they are 3-4 inches tall, thin them to prevent overcrowding.

Care Tips for Healthy Zinnia Plants
