#OpiumPoppy
This is the hardest plant i have ever tried to grow. I used to have a good resource for information on this plant but I lost him. I've never gotten this far with this plant and I don't want to lose it now. Any help would be appreciated

@AwaitedTearose Welcome to the Greg community! Poppies are a popular choice for indoor gardeners because they don’t require a lot of care and will usually thrive in nearly any environment. This makes them perfect for growing under artificial light. All poppies require is a well-draining soil, regular watering and plenty of light for them to thrive indoors. To ensure that your poppies get enough light, place them near a window or beneath a grow light. Poppies can be grown in small to medium pots or planters with good drainage - choose a pot that is at least 20-30cm deep and about the same width. To encourage more blooms, deadhead the flowers once they fade. You can also cut down the stems to the ground if the plant enters summer dormancy. It may spur the plant to encourage more growth as soon as the weather cools in the late summer or early fall. The N-P-K ratio is your blueprint for vibrant poppy blooms. Nitrogen (N) supports leaf growth, phosphorus (P) is crucial for those eye-catching flowers, and potassium (K) overall plant health. Aim for a fertilizer with a higher phosphorus content—something like a 10-20-10 blend—to encourage blooming. Happy Growing!
