Sowing Period and Method of Cactus Plants
Core content of this article: experience in succulent plants, sowing period and method of cactus plants, next, the editor will answer in detail for you
The sowing period is a very important part of the seedling raising work, it affects the growth period of the plant, and the adaptability of the seedlings to the environment. Appropriate sowing period can improve the germination rate of seeds. The seedlings are uniform, the plants grow strong, have strong resistance, save land and manpower, and can also cultivate high-quality products.
The general sowing period is from April to October. Cactus seedlings (seedlings within one year) do not hibernate in winter, so as long as there is a minimum temperature guarantee in winter, they can be sown during this period. It is best to sow succulent plants in two batches, with summer dormant species in September to October, and winter dormant species in April to May. The temperature of 21-27℃ is the most suitable for sowing cacti and succulent plants. The germination rate is higher at this temperature, so it can be said that sowing in spring and autumn is the best. At this time, the day and night temperature difference is large, the seedlings are relatively uniform, and the seedlings grow faster after emergence. A temperature difference of 15℃ between day and night is most conducive to germination. However, experts point out that when the daytime temperature is higher than 30℃, it is not very conducive to the growth of seedlings, so it is best to avoid the summer for sowing. Do not sow during the rainy season, as the pathogen is active and the seedlings are prone to disease after emergence.
Direct pot sowing and soaking seed germination are the methods generally used by everyone. In most cases, direct pot sowing is adopted. Direct pot sowing can be divided into dot sowing and broadcast sowing. When there are a large number of seeds and the seeds are small, broadcast sowing is generally adopted: that is, the seeds are slowly and evenly scattered in the seedling pot (be sure to disinfect the seedling pot).
When the seeds are large and few, dot sowing is generally adopted: you can use the tip of your hand, the pointed chopsticks or bamboo skewers, and put them into the seedling pot one by one (be sure to disinfect the seedling pot).
Soaking seed germination is mainly used for some seeds that are difficult to germinate, such as some seeds with thick seed coats. If direct pot sowing is adopted, the possibility of seedlings emergence of some genera such as cacti and cacti is very small.
The specific operation is to place the seeds in a shallow container, add a little water, just do not immerse the seeds. Then cover with glass and place in a dark place. After a few days, when the white cotyledons are seen, they can be transferred to the seedling pot (disinfected and sterilized) with small forceps and covered with glass. Generally, the pot used for sowing is preferably shallow and large, and the material is irrelevant, but the mouth of the pot must be flat. Only in this way can the glass be covered tightly. Seeds can be mixed sown. As long as the label is inserted and the spacing is noted.
The above [] introduces the full content of the sowing period and method of cactus plants, hoping to help you, and at the same time, I hope everyone will come to see more green plant flower experience knowledge!
