Zinnia angustifolia aka Narrowleaf Zinnia

With its straightforward care requirements, Narrowleaf Zinnia is a hassle-free plant that anyone can enjoy.

Narrowleaf Zinnia should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Narrowleaf Zinnia loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

Narrowleaf Zinnia requires abundant, bright, and direct light to thrive. The best placement for this plant is within one foot of a window to ensure it receives enough light. If you live in an area with more extreme weather, such as hot summers or cold winters, you may need to adjust the placement of the plant accordingly. During hot summer months, it is important to place the plant away from full sun, as this can cause the leaves to yellow or burn. During cold winter months, it is best to move the plant closer to the window to take advantage of the extra light that can help it survive. By keeping an eye on the current weather in your area, you can make sure your Dwarf Zinnia is always in the right place to thrive.

The Narrowleaf Zinnia grows at a slow pace and doesn't require any supplementary fertilizers. By renewing its potting soil once a year, it should receive enough nourishment. Remember, plants obtain their energy from sunlight, not fertilizers.

The Narrowleaf Zinnia is characterized by clumping growth, with new shoots emerging from the soil around the primary plant.
