Spring Flower Seeding Precautions
A small plant knowledge, introducing common sense of flower cultivation, spring flower seeding precautions, next, the editor will introduce to the netizens.
Seeding flowers in spring is simple and easy, with vigorous growth and long lifespan of the new plants. To ensure successful seeding, it is necessary to master the "five keys".
Seed longevity varies, with most flower seeds able to maintain viability for two to three years or even longer. However, some seeds should be sown immediately after harvest, such as camellias, whose seeds easily lose germination ability in a dry state; the germination ability of primrose seeds can only be maintained for a few months. Therefore, mastering the viability of various seeds is the prerequisite for successful seeding.
Seed treatment for drupes and seeds with hard seed coats should be buried in sand during winter. Seeds that are dry-stored in winter need to be soaked in warm or cold water before sowing, such as magnolia seeds, which need to be rubbed off the seed coat and buried in moist sand for about 100 days before sowing.
Germination conditions depend on four factors: moisture, temperature, ventilation, and light. After sowing, the soil should be kept slightly moist (except for aquatic flowers). Excessive moisture can lead to poor ventilation and seed rot, while excessive dryness, especially during the germination stage, can stop germination or cause death. The germination temperature varies depending on the type of flower, with most preferring 20°C to 25°C. The soil should be loose when sowing.
Seeding methods include pot sowing and ground sowing. Greening seedlings are mainly sown in the ground, and the ground should be carefully prepared. The sowing method depends on the size of the seeds, with large seeds being spot-sown or sown in rows, and fine seeds being broadcast. The thickness of the covering soil also depends on the size of the seeds, with large seeds requiring twice to three times the diameter of the seed.
Post-sowing management requires keeping the soil moist and paying attention to the covering material of the pots to increase the germination rate. After germination, attention should be paid to ventilation and light.
The comprehensive method of spring flower seeding precautions mentioned above, hopes to act as a stepping stone to solve your green plant problems.
