The sowing time is preferably summer, with sufficient sun and a dry environment. Before sowing, the germination should be soaked for 7-8 hours, and the cultivation soil should be sterilized by high temperature and other methods. When sowing, choose a well-drained pot, sow the seeds evenly, cover with soil about an inch and spray with water to hydrate. After sowing, you can cover it with film to increase the appropriate temperature. Once the plants have developed about 3 leaves, they can be repotted and transplanted.
1. Sowing period
This plant likes high temperatures and dry environments, so it is usually chosen to be planted in summer when there is sufficient light.
2. Preliminary treatment
1. Soak the seeds in warm water for seven or eight hours to allow the seeds to fully absorb the water and settle.develop. Even after enlargement, the particles remain very small.
2. Sterilize the prepared growing medium, you can use high temperature sterilization.
3. Sowing method
1. Choose a pot with good ventilation and drainage function and put the sterilized substrate in it. Since the seeds are very small, when planting you can squeeze the seeds with your fingers or use tweezers to pick up the seeds one by one and place them on the growing medium. If you use tweezers, be careful not to damage the seeds. After placing it, cover the surface with a layer of soil identical to that of the seedling substrate, approximately one centimeter thick.
2. Prepare a large pot, place the flower pot in the pot, and fill the large pot with water until the water reaches two-thirds of the flower pot. Leave for a few minutes until the water in the large pot has soakedsoil from the flower pot, then you can remove it.
3. Note: If there are relatively large seeds, put them directly into the soil and sow them 3 cm apart. After sowing, cover with soil to a thickness of two to three times the size of the seeds. Use a shower head or watering can to provide water to prevent seeds from being washed away.
4. Pay attention to the dryness and moisture of the soil, and replenish water in time when it is dry to keep it moist.
5. Cover it with film to maintain humidity and temperature.
4. Subsequent maintenance
1. When the seeds grow, the film should be removed in time to avoid being burned by excessive temperatures. After removing the film, place the flower pot in a sunny place. It is best to perform this step in the evening or early in the morning. The midday sun is too strong and the plants risk being burned.
2. Once the plants emerge from seed, you can see their growth status. If the plants are too close together, you need to thin them out. Those who are sick and those who are not growing well can be. removed to allow space for healthy seedlings. When the plants grow three leaves, they can be repotted and transplanted.
