Plant World:How to grow Nasturtium flower

How to grow Nasturtium:
Fresh yellowy green Seeds and dried seeds are Recommended.Fresh seeds sprout out earlier than dried seeds.Plant them in in spring(18-27degrees) in Black clay soil,or pond soil,Humus or Peat soil.Cow manure and Horse manure are also recommended-If you don't have manure,you can add compost,peat humus or nitrogen rich soils.If you don't see anything sprouting for more than a week,-that's natural-it takes them one or two weeks to sprout.Also make sure that:you water at least two times a day,make sure that the soil is NOT crisp dry but moist.If it has sprouted, Plant them in a fertile nitrogen rich soil or Black clay soil or peaty soil or any soil that is very fertile etc.The plant will flower in a few days! Nutrient demanding.If the sol has enough nutrients, your nasturtium should has leaves as big as a royal gala apple and will craw along the ground like a pumpkin.If there isn't enough nutrients your  nasturtium will NOT craw along the ground-instead it will look like a plant with thick stems and small yellow round leavesthe Plant Will flower too and the flowers will be as big as the nasturtiums with lost of nutrients,but the plant will NOT live as long as the ones with nutrients(the nasturtiums that craw along the ground has nutrients)If your nasturtiums are those healthy, big leaf ones,your nasturtium can survive and flower form spring to autumn.(cold weather will kill nasturtiums-but the seeds of the nasturtium produced when it was alive will grow and sprout out next spring).
