Cleome (Spider Flower) Growing Guide
Indoor Sowing (Starting Seeds Indoors)
Timing:
Start cleome seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date.
Seed Preparation:
Cleome seeds benefit from a pre-chilling process to improve germination rates. Place seeds in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks before sowing.
Containers:
Use seed trays or small pots with good drainage, filled with a light, well-draining seed-starting mix.
Planting:
Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep and cover lightly with soil or vermiculite.
Firm the soil gently and mist with water to keep the growing medium evenly moist.
Germination:
Maintain a temperature of 70-75F for optimal germination.
Expect seedlings to emerge within 7-14 days. Germination can be sporadic, so patience is key.
Watering:
Keep the soil consistently moist during germination, but avoid overwatering to prevent seed rot.
Transplanting:
Once seedlings have developed their first set of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots if needed. Harden off the seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions for 7-10 days before planting them outdoors after the last frost date.
General Care Tips for Cleome
Sunlight:
Cleome thrives in full sun and requires at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and blooming.
Watering:
Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Once established, cleome is drought-tolerant and requires less frequent watering.
Fertilizing:
Enrich the soil with compost before planting. Feed with a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season for vibrant growth and blooms.
Pruning:
Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage continuous flowering. Cleome is self-cleaning in some cases, but removing faded flowers can improve appearance.
Pest and Disease Control:
Cleome is relatively pest-resistant but may occasionally attract aphids or spider mites. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap. Ensure proper spacing for good airflow to prevent fungal diseases.
Harvesting:
For Flowers: Harvest blooms when they are fully open for fresh arrangements. Cut stems in the morning and place them in water immediately for the longest vase life.
Storage:
Fresh cleome flowers last up to a week in a vase with water. Regular deadheading in the garden can extend blooming time throughout the season.
