The plant has a clustering growth habit, with many branches, lush foliage, and嫩 green leaves. The tip of the plant has dense spikes of deep purple flowers, which are highly ornamental. The seeds of Wisteria sinensis should be sown in suitable weather to ensure a high survival rate. Most areas in China can grow Wisteria sinensis, which is a perennial shrub with elliptical leaves and spike-shaped inflorescences, with purple flowers that are very beautiful. Wisteria sinensis is suitable for planting in green belts and is also commonly used as a slope stabilization plant for roads.
1. Soil Preparation
Select fertile, loose, and well-drained soil for planting Wisteria sinensis. We need to prepare the land in advance by loosening the soil, applying sufficient base fertilizer, refining the soil, making it uniform, and then disinfecting it. The seeds of Wisteria sinensis do not have high soil requirements, with the seedling site needing to be loose and fertile. Before sowing, the land should be prepared, fertilized, disinfected, and ridges formed with a width of 1-2 meters.
2. Seed Selection
Select high-quality Wisteria sinensis seeds, preferably fresh seeds from the current year, removing impurities. Good quality seeds should be free of impurities, diseases, and pests, and fresh. Such seeds have a high germination rate. Soak the Wisteria sinensis seeds repeatedly, then remove them and dry them, and rub off the outer layer of the seed coat.
3. Sowing
To ensure the healthy development of Wisteria sinensis seeds, it is important to pay attention to the sowing time. Sowing in spring and autumn is better because the climate is suitable for seed germination and seedling growth. High temperatures in summer and low temperatures in winter are not suitable, which may lead to the death of the seeds. Before sowing, water the soil thoroughly, and on the second day, evenly spread the Wisteria sinensis seeds on the soil surface, cover with a layer of soil 1-1.5 centimeters thick, water again, and then cover with a layer of straw to keep the soil moist. Spread the seeds on the soil surface, cover with soil, and an appropriate sowing depth of 3-5 centimeters is recommended to facilitate future rooting.
4. Water and Fertilizer Management
After the Wisteria sinensis seedlings have germinated, we need to strengthen water and fertilizer management, watering every 3-5 days and fertilizing appropriately to promote seedling growth.
5. Thinning
When the seedlings grow to about 3-5 centimeters, we can thin them, removing diseased and weak seedlings and leaving the strong ones, loosening the soil appropriately to allow the seedlings to grow better.
6. Weeding
In the subsequent management process, it is important to remove weeds, preferably by hand or with a hoe, and to loosen the soil multiple times. If diseases are found, apply pesticides promptly.
