Channel island poppy
Channel island poppy is a resilient wildflower characterized by its bright yellow-orange blossoms reminiscent of delicate cups. This sun-loving plant flourishes in well-draining soils and often thrives in arid or disturbed habitats, adapting well to dry conditions. Its finely divided, blue-green foliage provides a striking backdrop for the vivid blooms that close each evening, or during cloudy weather, as part of its unique survival strategy.

Water: Keep soil moist before channel island poppy's seeds sprout; check moisture by touch. Water frequency varies with weather, increasing on hot days. After sprouting, channel island poppy becomes drought-tolerant and requires no watering unless in bone-dry conditions. Use rainwater or distilled water; let tap water sit overnight before use.
Fertilize: Channel island poppy requires well-decomposted manure or organic compost before sowing. Use a diluted NPK solution (1:1000) biweekly during growth. Limit nitrogen before flowering to promote blooms. During dormancy, avoid fertilization, especially in extremes (above 30℃ / 86℉ or below 10℃ / 50℉) to prevent root rot.
Pruning: Channel island poppy features distinctive blooms and benefits from pruning in early spring. Remove dead stems and lightly trim overgrown areas for shape and air circulation. Avoid heavy pruning during active growth to prevent stress, promoting better aesthetics and more vigorous blooms.
Propagation: Channel island poppy propagates through seeding and cuttage. For cuttage, select healthy tip branches, place in nutrient soil, and maintain 18-25℃ (64-77℉) with 75-85% humidity. Avoid strong light initially, providing shade of 50-80%. Gradually introduce sunlight after roots sprout.
