In hotter areas such as Karachi and southern Punjab, sow from November to December after the nights become cooler.

Primula should not dry out completely, but constantly wet soil can damage its roots. Water near the soil during the morning and empty any water collected in the pot saucer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrimula naturally develops as a leafy rosette and does not need pinching. Remove yellow or damaged leaves from the centre so moisture and decaying material do not collect around the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse only light feeding after the seedlings become established. Excessive fertilizer can produce oversized leaves that hide the flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck the tender growth for aphids, thrips, whiteflies and spider mites. Slugs and snails may chew young leaves. Remove badly damaged foliage and apply \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mojimall.pk\/products\/neem-oil-for-plants\"\u003eNeem Oil\u003c\/a\u003e when needed, avoiding open flowers.

Early autumn sowing gives the plants enough time to develop before their strongest display from late winter into spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemove each faded flower together with its stalk by cutting near the base.

Cineraria produces taller clusters of daisy-like blooms above broader leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill every advertised colour grow from one packet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot necessarily.
