How to grow Lupin Seeds
Prepare the Soil : Whether you’re growing lupins in containers or directly in the garden, ensure that the soil is well-drained and slightly acidic to neutral. You can improve the soil by adding organic matter, such as compost, to help with moisture retention and soil structure.
Sow the Seeds : Lupin seeds should be sown about 0.5 cm deep in the soil. Space the seeds or seedlings about 30-45 cm apart to allow enough room for the plants to grow.
Watering : Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once the lupins are established, they are moderately drought-tolerant.
Sunlight : Lupins require full sun or at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth and flowering.
Staking (if necessary) : Depending on the variety and your local conditions, lupin plants may grow tall and benefit from staking or support to prevent them from falling over.
Deadheading (optional) : To encourage more flowering, you can deadhead lupin plants, which involves removing spent blooms as they wither.
Fertilization (optional) : Lupins usually don’t require heavy fertilization. However, if your soil lacks essential nutrients, you can add a balanced, slow-release fertilizer according to the package instructions.
