❣️Amaranthus Caudatus Grow and Care Instructions❣️

~ Grow Instructions ~

Grow in full sun for the best flower color.

• Start seeds indoors 8 to 10 weeks before the last frost.
• Sow seeds shallowly and keep the potting medium evenly moist.
• Transplant outdoors after the danger of frost passes.
• Do not fertilize.
• Maintain an inch of water per week.

~ Care Instructions ~

Light

Position in full sun to part shade after the soil has warmed. The sun-loving plant thrives in quite warm weather and will not grow in full shade, but it does appreciate afternoon shade in exceptionally hot summer climates.

Soil

Grow love-lies-bleeding in mildly acidic soil of a pH between 5.5 to 6.5. While it grows well in average, well-draining, and well-fertilized soils, some gardeners say it has the best color when planted in poor soil. Any light (sandy), medium (loamy), or heavy (clay) soil will do. If fertilizing the plant, use only organic fertilizer.

Water

This fairly drought-resistant plant still benefits from good watering practice. Seeds require balanced moisture levels. Then, until seedlings are established and growing actively, they still require evenly moist soil. Once established, the love-lies-bleeding plant needs little attention.

Temperature and Humidity

Plants are not frost-hardy. The most cold-tolerant Amaranthus cultivars can tolerate temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. In areas where there is no frost, it may last as a perennial. Love-lies-bleeding is sensitive to the length of the day and does not perform well in northern latitudes. Germination happens quickly in warm soil.

Propagation

You can use root cuttings to propagate plants. Harvest the seeds just before the plant matures to avoid losing any seed.

Common Pests and Diseases

Watch for aphids, root rot in poorly drained soils, and fungal leaf spot diseases.
