Stone flower is a succulent plant that is drought-tolerant, cold-tolerant, easy to grow and has high ornamental value. However, if you want to cultivate healthy and beautiful raw stone flowers, you must pay attention to its growth habits and planting points. This article will provide you with a detailed introduction to the sowing time and related precautions for raw stone flowers.
1: Understand the stone-growing flower, the scientific name of the grass genus Echinacea of the Crassulaceae. It is characterized by its love of sunshine, thin soil, and drought, and is suitable for growing on barren mountains and dry rocks. Moreover, its leaves are thick and rich in juice, making it easy to grow new lateral branches and new roots.
2: Choose the sowing time of raw stone flower seeds. Before understanding it, you need to select suitable raw stone flower seeds. Seed quality is related to subsequent growth. It is recommended to choose healthy, complete and clean seeds for sowing.
3: Selection of sowing time. Stoneflower is a plant that can be sown all year round, but its growth cycle is greatly affected by factors such as season, environment, and temperature. Choosing the right sowing time is crucial.
Four: Spring sowing Spring is the most suitable time for sowing raw stone flowers. At this time, the temperature gradually warms up, which is suitable for the growth of plants. At the same time, the humidity in spring is also guaranteed to a certain extent, which is conducive to seed germination.
Five: Summer sowing Although the temperature is higher in summer, it is more suitable for the growth of stoneflowers. At this time, there is sufficient water and nutrient supply, which is conducive to seed germination.
6: Autumn sowing The autumn temperature gradually decreases, which is not conducive to the growth of stone flowers. However, if sowing is carried out in time before the cold, the raw stone flowers can grow rapidly in the early spring of the following year.
7: Sowing in winter, the temperature in winter is low, which is difficult to meet the growth needs of stone flowers. Sowing is not recommended. However, if sowing can be carried out under indoor insulation conditions, good results can also be achieved.
Eight: Preparation and sowing soil. Stone flowers prefer loose and breathable soil such as thin soil, sand, legula soil, and perlite, and do not like soil with too much water. When preparing soil for sowing, attention should be paid to selecting materials with good air permeability and good drainage properties.
Nine: Preparing for sowing containers, stoneflower seeds have high requirements for temperature and humidity in the early stage of germination. You can choose a small seedling tray or a small potted plant for sowing.
Ten: Soaking seeds can be soaked in warm water for 10 minutes, which can increase the germination rate of seeds. At the same time, it can also help expel dirt and fat on the surface.
XI: Sowing Sprinkle the seeds evenly on the prepared sowing soil and gently pat them to closely combine the seeds with the soil to increase the contact area, which is conducive to germination and growth.
12: Cover with plastic wrap. After sowing seeds, cover plastic wrap above the container. Plastic wrap can maintain ambient temperature and humidity and accelerate seed germination.
XIII: Maintain a suitable temperature. Stone flowers have high temperature requirements and require the room temperature to be maintained at around 20℃. If the temperature needs to be increased, heating equipment such as a heater can be placed under the container.
14: Timely ventilation In the early stage of germination, Stoneflower seeds require sufficient oxygen for respiration and metabolism, and it is also conducive to maintaining environmental humidity. Timely ventilation is needed.
Fifteen: The sowing time and method of raw stone flowers need to be selected based on factors such as season and environment. At the same time, attention should also be paid to the selection of soil and containers, soaking treatment, suitable temperature and ventilation. Only by comprehensively considering these factors can we successfully grow healthy and beautiful raw stone flowers.
