Leek seed germination method

Before germinating, leeks should be rinsed with clean water once a day. Because leek seeds are relatively hard, they need to be soaked in water at about 40°C before sowing. After soaking for more than 10 hours, wrap them with a wet cloth and place them in an environment of about 15 degrees. After the seeds turn white, they can be sown.

Leek germination method

Before germinating the leek seeds, you must first remove the shriveled, moldy, and worm-eaten particles, leaving only the large, plump and round seeds for use. Then soak them for 24 hours, take them out, and soak them in hot water at about 55-60 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes. After drying, loosen the soil in the seedbed, backfill with nutrient soil in time, then sow the seeds and wait for germination.

Leek seedling planting

Step 1: Seedbed Preparation

Leek seeds have poor soil-breaking ability, so you need to prepare a fertile and loose seedbed for them. The soil must not be too hard to avoid seed death. Sandy loam can be selected to ensure that the roots are less damaged when transplanting the seedlings.

Step 2: Seed preparation

Try to choose new seeds with excellent varieties and strong adaptability. If it is in hot weather, you need to wash them with water once a day during the soaking and germination process to prevent the seeds from accumulating heat and deteriorating. Wait 2-3 days for the seeds to turn white before sowing.

Step 3: Sowing

In order to better prevent diseases, we should first mix the seeds, then mix the seeds and fine soil evenly, then sprinkle them on the seedbed, cover them with a layer of fine soil, and water them thoroughly. It is also necessary to pay attention to covering the land with plants such as straw or stalks, which can keep warm and moisturize, and is conducive to germination.
