• Take a seedling tray, fill them with potting mix soil and sow china aster seeds at a depth of 0.4 cm in the soil. Cover the seeds and water gently through a watering can. Keep the seedling tray in a sunny spot as china aster seeds will not germinate in the dark. China aster Flower seeds can germinate in about 10-14 days.
• After the germination of white china aster seeds, once the seedlings develop a few true leaves, you can transplant them into a larger pot or grow bag. For healthy growth of the china aster plant, plant only 1-2 plants in a 9-inch pot or maintain a distance of at least 5-6 inches between plants. Keep the soil moist and place the pot in partial sunlight for a few days after transplanting to protect the seedling from transplant shock. After 3 days, keep the pot in sunlight.

You can add well-balanced or slow-release fertilizer such as vermicompost or cow manure once a month for better growth of china aster plants. Do not apply a nitrogen-rich fertilizer as this will discourage flower development.
