Jade Fan Myriads Sowing Guide
An article on green plant knowledge, introducing the contents about the succulent plant Jade Fan, the Myriads Sowing Guide. Let's take a look with the editor!
1. What temperature is suitable for sowing Jade Fan and Myriads?
The seeds of the twelve scrolls require a relatively low temperature to germinate, preferably around 20 degrees. The minimum temperature should not be lower than 10 degrees, and the maximum temperature should not exceed 25 (temporarily slightly higher than 25 is fine, but it should be cooled down in time). There should be a day-night temperature difference, with an ideal difference of about 8 to 10 degrees. For example, 23 degrees during the day and 14 degrees at night.
2. What kind of lighting is suitable for sowing?
With direct sunlight being 100%,遮光 60%, only about 40% of light should pass through. It's okay if the seedlings grow slightly taller, as long as there is no severe etiolation. Avoid exposing the seedlings to direct sunlight until they turn red. There are various methods of shading: some friends use two layers of paper bags (newspaper) for shading; some use shade nets (available at gardening stores); my previous method was to drape a light-colored towel over the storage box.
3. What are the requirements for the sowing matrix?
General principle: A 5 to 6 cm thick, with particle diameter less than 3 mm, loose and breathable material that retains water can be used as a germination matrix.
Several reference formulas:
① Red jade soil:鹿沼土: rice husk ash: high-quality peat = 4:4:1:1
② Red jade soil: wheat stone or volcanic stone: rice husk carbon: high-quality peat = 4:2:2:2
③ Vermiculite: red jade soil: perlite: rice husk carbon: peat = 5:5:5:3:2
After mixing the above materials, add a little insecticide and fungicide, and if you like, you can add some bone meal as a base fertilizer.
4. What details should be paid attention to when sowing?
Fill the pot with dry soil, level the soil surface, sow or broadcast the seeds, cover with a thin layer of soil about the same thickness as the seeds, not too thick. Then spray or soak in a fungicide solution, such as carbendazim, thiophanate-methyl, etc., or potassium permanganate. Note: Potassium permanganate should not be mixed with pesticides. Let it sit overnight and then start full闷 management. When it is full of steam inside, open it for ventilation. Do not expose it to direct sunlight, or it will heat up quickly and cook the seeds. Keep the matrix moist. Spray fungicide once a week, alternating and changing the type of fungicide.
5. How long does it take to germinate? How to manage after germination?
Due to temperature and temperature difference changes, some may germinate within a week, most between 10 to 20 days, and a few in less ideal conditions may take a month. After germination, continue to keep the matrix dry and wet, increase ventilation after a month, and stop the闷养 after two months. Continue to pay attention to the right amount of lighting, neither etiolation nor sunburn. If the matrix is deficient in fertilizer, a light liquid fertilizer can be applied at two months, provided the temperature is suitable and the seedlings are in the growing period. Keep warm and do not let the temperature fall below 5 degrees. Some people have tried keeping it above 0 degrees without any problem, but do not be careless, this may be an isolated case.
The above is a specific introduction to the Jade Fan Myriads Sowing Guide, hoping to bring some floral knowledge to flower enthusiasts.
