Common Questions

Q

Can I grow in a container?

A

Yes, you can grow it in a container – however, you will need a pot size similar to that used for a tree. This can also be used as a houseplant. You will need to provide adequate light if you want it to be productive.

Q

Do I need to fertilize my plants?

A

Cotton is a nutrient-demanding plant that requires nitrogen and potash for optimal growth. It thrives with the addition of organic fertilizers like fish emulsion. Fertilizers specifically formulated for tomatoes work exceptionally well for nurturing your cotton plants.

Q

Should I mulch my cotton plants?

A

Cotton benefits from a thick application of mulch. Straw is best as it retains moisture but allows for air circulation.

Q

Can I grow cotton with my herb plants?

A

Cotton thrives alongside various herbs such as basil, cilantro, mint, dill, and sage. It pairs effectively with onions and garlic, which may assist in deterring the boll weevil. Additionally, cotton is a suitable companion for sunflowers. However, it's best to avoid growing cotton with potatoes.
