Preparation before sowing1. Choose the right variety
Before sowing, first select a suitable multi肉 variety for sowing. Based on personal preferences and the growing environment, choose varieties that are easy to propagate, grow fast, and have a high survival rate. Common multi肉 sowing varieties include Crassulaceae, Aizoaceae, and Crassulaceae.
2. Prepare sowing tools and materials
Sowing tools include sowing trays, sowing paper, tweezers, spray bottles, etc. Sowing materials mainly consist of vermiculite, perlite, and peat, which have good breathability and strong water retention, conducive to multi肉 seed germination and growth.
3. Choose the right sowing time
The best time for multi肉 sowing is generally in spring and autumn when the climate is suitable and the temperature is moderate, which is conducive to seed germination and growth.
Sowing process1. Soak the seeds
Soak the multi肉 seeds in warm water for 30 minutes to help them absorb water, expand, and improve germination rate.
2. Sow
Evenly sprinkle the soaked seeds on the sowing paper and then cover them with fine sand or vermiculite, about 1-2 millimeters thick.
3. Watering
Gently spray water with a spray bottle to moisten the soil, but avoid direct splashes on the seeds.
4. Cover with plastic wrap to keep moisture
To maintain soil moisture and temperature, cover the sowing tray with a layer of plastic wrap, which helps improve germination rate.
Post-sowing maintenance1. Keep the soil moist
After sowing, regularly water to keep the soil moist, but be careful to avoid waterlogging, as it may affect seed germination.
2. Control temperature and lighting
The suitable temperature for multi肉 seed germination is 18-25°C, and the light intensity should not be too strong. Place the sowing tray in a place with sufficient scattered light and avoid direct sunlight.
3. Observe the germination status
Under suitable conditions, multi肉 seeds usually germinate within 7-14 days. After germination, promptly remove the plastic wrap to avoid excessive shading.
4. Transplanting
When the multi肉 seedlings have grown 2-3 leaves, they can be transplanted. During transplantation, try to keep the soil intact and avoid damaging the roots.
Although multi肉 sowing may seem simple, it contains certain skills. By following the above steps, you should have mastered the entire process of multi肉 sowing. With careful care, multi肉 seedlings will grow robustly, bringing you endless joy.
