Transplanting Leggy Sunflowers!

- Time to start transplanting! Finally! Here I'm showing how I'm experimenting with transplanting sunflowers deep like you would a tomato plant. Sorry about my shoulder! I'm still getting the hang of this. I'll try to keep shoulder appearances to a minimum in the future! Hope you guys like the video!
P.S. I know I said early May, and it's actually mid-May now but I filmed this a few days ago and haven't had time to edit and post it.
I created this video with the UA-cam Video Editor ( / editor )
Keep doing tutorials, your voice is very charming, seems your are a very plant caring person!👍
Exactly the information I was looking for.
How did your experimentgowith planting them deeply? I have some leggy ones now and its too early to put in the garden. let me know please.
Thank you so much for this video! My sunflowers grew like this. I was so disappointed. But now I know what to do. Thank you so much
The sunflowers I grew in a small cup became leggy similar to this. I also planted some directly in the ground around the same time. The leggy ones bloomed quicker and the heads weren't as large as the ones planted in the ground.
You could have kept the one you pinched off and burred it deep. You don't have to bury them so deep but it does help for roots. and The vine is split because at a point in time you over watered them. The 3rd sprout didn't grow as big because it had no room in that little container, but it was still alive if the stem was green. t.t if you used water in the soil and drowned them out right before you plant them you could have separated them a little easier as well. Im also learning the spacing would be like 1 per square. Im not 100% sure yet. Im still learning as well.
Keana Mills hey I recently planted sunflowers in cells and noticed that some cells sprouted 2 sunflowers... do you recommend I pinch one off so the other one in the cell grows stronger?
@@billrichardson6620 Yes! Absolutly! It will grow 100% more stronger rather than having to share or fight for nutrients, light, soil, and space.
Keana Mills wow thank you so much. Lol I have no idea what I’m doing. Really but this was helpful more than you know!
I like you and we never met! Thanks! I'm real excited to be doing sunflowers from seed for my 1st time!
My sunflowers are a little leggy. Your video made me feel better. In they go tomorrow. Love your tutorial.
This was the video I have been searching for, thanks so much for solving my problem, I was starting to panick.
I’m growing sunflowers.. the “evening sun” kind! Mine are getting very leggy and I’ve never done them from seed in the ground only in containers from seed so this is a first for me!! And im growing Chinese forget me nots around the sunflowers from seed as well! Wish me luck I love your video! You’re very helpful in this category for me :) 🌻🌼🍄🌸
ive transplanted quite a few of my sunflowers into the ground that looked just like this and didnt bury them so deep and they also did fine. Only thing is i put a BBQ stake right next to them with bread ties and they grew big and healthy still! ; ) There really no need for this method. The little guys tend to straighten themselves out on their own so long as they have a little help with a small stake.
same here - and I have enough room so that I can plant them straight. But thank you guys for this vid!
i was little bit shock here , supposed to be straight up and not lying down . How about adding Epsom salts as fertilzers can help to make sunflowers grow bigger?

That's good to know thank you
I would have planted them deep, not sideways. Deep gives them an advantage in moisture and nutrients. Sideways is just weird.
The one you pinched off, might have grown two heads.🤔😥
Always water new plants in. Always.
this was helpful, thank you!
This is great! Thanks for sharing your success. I have a mess of mammoths that I'll be planting * just like this* either tonight or in the morning. I seen part 2 first 🤗👍
What ever happened to these? I don’t see a follow up
It's now June 10th. How are the Sunflowers doing? Thanks.
Shortest 7 minute video I've ever watched.....have never seen a leggy plant put in sideways.....getting ready to put some sunflowers in....interesting....neat, thank you....
Love your videos. Thank you!
Thank you, l learned some great tips. If you have any suggestions to ward off squirrels please post another video!

cayenne pepper lightly dusted on slightly misted plant leaves. Better to deter it than to hurt it. plus there will only be more and more coming in since its outside nature.
How do they look a little later?
UPDATE? How'd they do
Thanks for the tip - I just went out in the middle of the night to do this to my mammoths :) Cheers
I'm very new to gardening all together...so please don't take offense to this question, could it be that there are 3 seedlings growing in the same small pot that could cause the legginess??? Like i said I'm new to this and have my first set of sunflowers growing now. But read to thin them out when the second leafs grow... just wondering. Thank you for the video!!!! I can't wait to see more from you!!!
I don't know if this could help but what I know is that if they are planted together, they would compete for the sun because they get shaded by their competitors, thus, the legginess starts. (to reach sunlight better)
Hello! No offense taken. The get leggy due to getting less sun and air movement than they'd really like. Your theory could be so if there were more than 2 or 3 seeds in the 2 1/4 pot. If you have plenty of room and pots, plant only one seed per pot. xo
I planted one per pot, and I got this very result. But now I know what to do
Hi im growing sunflowers in my greenhouse,when can I plant them outside, Thanks.
Newbie at growing sunflowers. My question is why pinch off the leafs?
The small leaves are unimportant and use the water that should be going to the top of the plant.
Have you any tips on how to stop mice and squirrels eating the sunflower seedlings? I put prickly holly leaves and garlic powder around them and the animals still munch on them.
How did your sunflowers do?
So how did they do?
Are those... gunshots in the background...?
Did this method do ok? Anyone know?
Why are those leaves removed?
They aren't really leaves, they're the seedling leaves that help the plant push out of the seed. Once regular leaves have developed
How did it work out? I have a lot of leggy plants and wondering if I can still save it
So far so good. It's been about 3-4 days since I transplanted them and they aren't showing any signs of dying yet, so it's very promising. If you have other leggy plants besides sunflowers, I recommend researching a bit. There are actually quite a few plants that can be planted deep if they get too leggy. Thanks for watching and good luck with your garden!
Just to update you, I was able to saved my veggies. I replanted them and slowly exposed them to the sun (lack of sun caused them to become leggy). It's been a week now and my veggies are looking good! How's your sun flower?
I have sunflower seedlings becoming leggy and sadly to say me being living in an high rise apartment i don't have the luxury of good and direct sunlight....how am i able to save my leggies sunflower seedlings?
So did it work or no?
Too bad there’s not equal concern expressed for the environment. Another container for the landfill? More ocean pollution? How about a container that’s made from plants? Or truly biodegradable or compostable or refillable?
Maybe he uses the pot year after year like most gardeners? Don't be such a self righteous dick.
Use clay pots or plant the seeds directly in the ground and put glass jars over them for protection. No plastic!
Hello, can i put my 7 day old sunflower babies under the direct sunlight? For like whole day?
My seedlings are much much smaller and already falling over :(. I don't know if they are big enough to go out in zone 6b
Try adding sticks for support! I just did this and it helped so much!
Hi my name Amelia. I am 6. I like your video. I have sunflowers too. They are kind of floppy like yours are. How did it go?
I to am a newbie to all this...can i transplant from my pot as i worry as they are about a foot long now and i feel they need more room. They are only plated 4" apart. Should i leave them there is five in one pot but they are thriving faster. The weather has been windy and feel they will need stability if i do decide to move them to my flower bed. I will definetily give them fish droppings after.
Thanks for the great info.. just curious what is that background noise going on about 6:33? Sounds insanely creepy!! 😳😬
It sounds like a gunshot with an echo. Sometimes farmers use shells as a noise maker to scare away animals from crops.
I transplanted my sunflower, but later on, the stem started to fall on the side, is it okay?? It's my school project, so I'm really worried about it.
stake it
Bruh
Curious - does he really know what he's doing? - I suspect not. Their spacing is minuscule - do the grow only 7" tall? Crowded plants = disease & pests, stunted growth, early plant death etc.
ken warneke The fact that within the first ninety seconds, the sunflowers were as leggy as they were, were planted as closely as they were, and he said he was going to bury the sunflower’s stem..yeah, he’s clueless.
I accidently dropped mine and the soil around the roots broke. Will my sunflower survive? :(
I did transfer them to a bigger pot though.
yeah it will
@@lennyface2586 It actually has a head now lol thanks anyway!
@pandesal mornings Good to hear! You’re welcome!
Amateur..
why even leave a comment. Go hang out with the sunflower experts if youre so picky about it. This video is fine
Rather be an amateur than an a$$hole UA-cam troll.
Binladen ur an amateur
