I. Sowing Method
1. Sowing Time
Kalanchoe seeds are generally sown in spring and autumn, as the temperature of these two seasons is suitable for seed germination and is also beneficial for the growth of seedlings. The best sowing time is in March.
2. Collecting Seeds
Kalanchoe seed collection has a relatively high difficulty coefficient; only single-petal flowers have seeds, and there are not many options to choose from, so careful selection is needed.
3. Preparing Substrate
The seeds have relatively high requirements for the culture medium, needing slightly acidic soil with a pH value within the range of 6.0-6.5. Peat soil, river sand, and vermiculite can be mixed in a ratio of 2:2:4, and消毒 after mixing.
4. Sowing
Evenly broadcast the collected seeds on the surface of the flower soil, cover the pot with a plastic bag or film, and place it in a place with diffused light, maintaining a temperature of about 17 degrees Celsius. It will take about 10 days to germinate.
II. Seedling Care
After the seeds have germinated, remove the plastic bag or film, and maintain the temperature at about 17 degrees Celsius. The seedlings are tender and easily die if the temperature is not suitable. Also, do not place them in direct sunlight to prevent rapid evaporation of moisture, which can affect the growth of the seedlings. Master the watering amount to keep the soil moist but avoid waterlogging. The root system of the seedlings is still quite fragile, so no fertilizer is needed during the seedling stage to prevent fertilizer damage and waste of effort.
