The editor will explain the blooming period of Cassia surattensis and share the experience of green plant maintenance concerning its cold tolerance. Let's take a look together.
Cassia surattensis enjoys sunlight and warm growing conditions, and it is a common plant in the southern regions of China. The flowers of Cassia surattensis are bright golden yellow. It has a long blooming period, from March to around December each year. When in bloom, the flowers are abundant, almost covering the entire tree with golden yellow blossoms, making it highly ornamental. Cassia surattensis is also widely used in urban greening in the south, as it can be planted as a hedge in flower beds and community green belts, as a street tree on both sides of sidewalks, or as a landscape tree in gardens and scenic areas.
In its seedling stage, Cassia surattensis is very small, usually only about 20 to 30 centimeters tall. When mature, it can reach a height of 3 to 5 meters. The leaves of Cassia surattensis are similar to those of the pagoda tree, with many small leaves arranged on a long petiole, resembling a long feather. The leaves of Cassia surattensis are elliptical, usually about 2 to 3 centimeters in length and about 1 centimeter in width, with light green color and a surface covered with grayish-white down.
Cassia surattensis is generally propagated by播种 (播种 means sowing) during the spring months of March and April, or from September to October in the fall. However, it is usually recommended to sow in the spring because the climate is warmer, and the germination rate is higher at this time. Before sowing, select healthy and plump seeds free from diseases and pests for germination treatment. This involves soaking the seeds of Cassia surattensis in warm water at about 60 degrees for a period, then drying them before sowing.
When sowing, choose a sunny and wind-protected area with flat terrain. First, till and level the soil, then add some well-rotted organic fertilizer as a base fertilizer to the soil, which is beneficial for the growth and germination of Cassia surattensis seeds. Once the soil is prepared, the treated seeds can be evenly broadcast into the soil. After sowing, keep the soil moist by watering regularly, and the seeds of Cassia surattensis will germinate successively in about a week to ten days.
The above is all about the blooming period of Cassia surattensis and understanding its cold tolerance, for your comprehensive reference!
