Choose Right Soil Mix
Use well-draining potting mix with compost. Add perlite for drainage in monsoon season. Aster thrives in neutral pH soil.
Pick Sunny Location
Aster needs 6-8 hours direct sunlight daily. Place near south-facing window. Insufficient light reduces flower production.
Water Consistently
Water when top soil inch feels dry. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering in winter months.
Fertilize Every Two Weeks
Use balanced fertilizer (10-10-10) during growing season. Apply every 14 days for lush blooms. Skip in winter dormancy.
Prune for Bushy Growth
Pinch stems when 6 inches tall. Remove dead flowers regularly. Pruning encourages more blooms and compact shape.
Watch for Common Pests
Check for aphids and spider mites. Spray neem oil solution weekly if affected. Inspect leaf undersides regularly.
Propagate from Seeds
Sow seeds in spring (February-March). Germinate in warm place. Transplant seedlings after 4-5 weeks of growth.
