Saffron cultivation methods and precautions

Saffron cultivation methods and precautions

Saffron is a relatively easy plant to grow. It does not require too much care after planting and the plant will grow very well. Just follow the normal watering and fertilizing procedures during maintenance.

How to grow saffron

1. Temperature

The most suitable growth temperature for saffron is 15-25℃. The plant likes to grow in a warm environment. When the temperature is too high in summer, it is necessary to increase the amount of watering appropriately to cool it down.

2. Lighting

Saffron likes sunlight, but is afraid of high temperatures. It can be maintained in an environment with sufficient diffuse light, but the maintenance environment must be ventilated.

3. Soil

Saffron prefers loose and fertile soil with good drainage and air permeability, and preferably slightly acidic or neutral soil, so that the plant can better absorb nutrients and promote its healthy growth.

4. Watering

Saffron prefers a moist growing environment. During its vigorous growth period, it needs to be watered once every 2-3 days, but water must not be allowed to accumulate in the soil, otherwise it will cause root rot of the plant.

5. Fertilization

Saffron requires a lot of nutrients during its growth period. It is best to use phosphorus fertilizer and compound fertilizer as the main fertilizer, which can effectively increase the yield of saffron.

Saffron maintenance precautions

Saffron is generally planted in bulbs, which need to undergo simple processing before planting. It is best to remove the outer skin, otherwise it will easily breed bacteria if planted directly.
