Those corns must be seriously good listeners .They are all EARS!! 😃 great demonstration! Always thought it was impossible to grow them in small containers!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Sure, I always challenge myself to grow different plants in containers and it is very surprising. There are very few corn that can be grown in containers and this is one of them. Thank you so much for your comment!
Thank you for sharing, I litterally just tried this myself. It is so awesome! I used fresh corn that I dried out, you can use those as seeds aswell if you want to experiment with that - Lovely video!
Thank you for this video my friend, just started growing native corn from Puerto Rico and it’s going well. Hopefully I’ll be able to multiply it some day.
I am planting for the first time today (hybrid bantam corn in Florida ✌️😎 Lol,, you guys out there wish me lots of luck because I think I'm going to need it !
How is it going so far ? I'm in Jacksonville Florida doing the same thing and my corn is doing really well so far...Can we send each other pics of the corn to see how we are both doing ?
Thank you for this awesome video ! Now I learned it possible to grow corn in a large container, without taking up a lot of space in my small backyard! Hello from Long Island, New York! 👋🏽😊
great video, i was curious how well they would grow in containers. im on year 2 of growing peppers so i have some gardening experience. im starting my corn seeds now
Update: 2023 summer was the hottest, i gave up early. Had other plants to take care of. Now its march 2024 and my corn plants are a few inches tall. I started earlier and in a big grow bag. This year should be better
💚🌽💚🌽💚THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR TECHNIQUES!!!🌱🌿🌽🤓👍🏽 I'VE ALWAYS ENJOYED GOOD NATURALLY SWEET CORN ON THE COB FROM A LITTLE GIRL 😄 🌽... BUT WHEN I READ IN THE HOLY BIBLE THAT MY LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST AND HIS DISCIPLES ATE CORN IN THE FIELD...WWOWW!!!🤓 THAT BLESSED MY SOUL!!! AND BASICALLY PROVED THAT EATING CORN ON THE COB IS A GOOD THING!!!😃🌽 IF IT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR MY LORD AND SAVIOR!!! JESUS CHRIST!!!... THEN THAT'S ENOUGH FOR ME!!!😂👍🏽🙋🏽♀️🔥🙏🏽👑✝️📖🔥
Nice. I'm going to attempt to grow corn in this TX heat. I heard they can withstand 100 deg temps. I have shade cloth to put them under just in case..lol. Tysm for the video!
It works more for the corns planted in ground. For containers, it doesn't make a big difference since you need to hand pollinate and also because of the planting orientation in the pots. Thank you for sharing.
Красивая кукуруза получилась. Я пробовала вырастить кукурузу, но на неё нападали какие-то гусеницы и портили её изнутри. Не думала,что можно вырастить в контейнере её.
So at what point in the corns growth do you start adding the fertilizer? The vid just says every two on weeks but usually you start when the plants are a certain height.
You can start feeding every two weeks from transplanting into pots. It is important to feed plants as soon as they develop flowers. Thank you for visiting!
My indoor corn seedlings just die off at about 15-20cm, Direct sow they grow like crazy, what culd be the problem. This only happens to corn. Got the right temp soil etc, the only thing I can think of is the light, do I need artificial light?
If you grow them from seeds indoors, yes, they definitely need strong source of light. There might be other problems with growing indoors that caused your seedling to die but it is hard to tell without knowing the growing conditions. But if they are doing fine when direct-sown, then you are on the right path and know what works for your best. happy growing and thank you for getting in touch!
it would be super helpful to know the size of pots you used so we can gauge if we have a little smaller or bigger how many to put in. What size did you use?
I tried to include pot sizes in all my videos. For this one, check video @ 1:59 for the pot size. It is planted in whiskey barrel with 20 in (50cm) diameter. Hope this helps and thank you for getting in touch.
Glad you liked it. For containers choose varieties that are not taller than 4ft (125cm). Very tall varieties are not recommended for containers. Happy growing and thank you for your comment!
You will have much better results if you have more plants. The pollination of the flower will be much more successful. It is possible to plant 2 in smaller pots but I strongly recommend to plant at least 2-3 small pots. Happy growing and thank you so much for your comment!
We are lucky to get plenty of sun in our area (zone 9b). the good thing about planting in pots is that you can position them to receive needed sunlight. For the raccoons and rodents, I rely on my dog- he does a good job protecting the plants 😁 . Hope you will have a better results next time and thank you so much for your comment!
Ideally corn grown in containers should be 4-5 ft tall. You can grow other varieties (7-8 ft tall) in containers too but probably won't get many ears. If you want to grow for Halloween decoration, I recommend growing Strawberry popcorn corn which is perfect for containers. Happy growing and thank you for visiting!
Potting soil and potting mix are basically the same. While they are good to start at transplanting, most bagged potting soils will be out of nutrients in few weeks. So you need to amend soil on a regular basis. If by "bone/blood meal" you mean the one with NPK 3-9-3 (Westland), yes it is a good option. Otherwise I recommend using a complete fertilizer for vegetables, any tomato fertilizer would work. Hope this helps and thank you very much for your comment!
@@H2Oops Both works great. water soluble ones need to be applied more frequently, but has quicker effect. Granular is easier to apply but takes time to be absorbed. Totally up to you. happy growing!
The soil will be out of nutrients and needs to be amended for new plants. Check my video here on how to reuse old soil ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nlmarlrwfPI.html . Hope this helps and thank you for visiting.
It means a complete or balanced fertilizer that contains all three main elements for plants (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) labeled as N-P-K ratio. In this case the NPK ratio is 4-4-4 meaning it has equal parts of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. If you want an easy option, any tomato fertilizer available in the garden centers will work too. Thank you for visiting!
You 'd have many options of cold loving crops. Depending on your zone the list includes: carrot, radish, cabbage, lettuce, swiss chard, turnip, beets, spinach, kale, cauliflower,.. . I hope this helps and happy growing.
Just done planting my sweet corn 12 days ago but since this is my first try i need to know what is the best fertilizers for it.The type of soil is black but it has a lot of small stones.
Sounds exciting! The easiest is to use any tomato fertilizer. I usually use Gardentone 3-4-4 fertilizer which also contains calcium. Hope this helps and happy growing!
The soil blend I used is included in video @ 2:17. For fertilizer, you can use any balanced fertilizer such as 4-4-4 or 5-5-5. (I used organic vegetable fertilizer with 4-4-4 NPK ratio). Thanks for visiting.
We do. But not every season there will be enough of them for pollination. Just a little shake will ensure your plants are pollinated properly. Thanks for visiting.
If the lower leaves are dying, then it is most probably due to lack of nitrogen and under watering. Try to add composted manure or feed them with water soluble fertilizers such as fish emulsion for a quick effect. I suggest to fertilize more frequently with organic fertilizers too. Hope this helps and thank you for visiting.
Any variety that are about 4ft tall will work in containers (I have tried Strawberry Popcorn too). Taller varieties need more space to grow. Thank you for visiting!
