After that you can add water 2 to 3 times a week. (According to your pot or planter, no plants should be watered until the soil is completely dry.)
And after plants are 4 to 5 inches long, you should put vermicompost every 20 to 25 days on 50 to 100 grams per square foot.
When the flowering time comes to the plants, you should use fertilizer (NPK) once a month, which leads to a good growth of the flowers.
