Suitable planting time for lisianthusLisianthus is suitable for planting in spring and autumn. If sown in pots indoors, you can choose January-February and September-October. No matter when you sow, you must pay attention to the ambient temperature. Only when the temperature is 22-25℃ can the seeds germinate quickly. If the temperature is too high or too low, it will affect the growth of the seedlings. Lisianthus planting methods and key points1. Seed selection and germination The seeds of lisianthus are relatively small and usually need to be coated, so that the germination rate will be higher. If they are not coated, they need to be germinated. Select seeds with fuller grains, soak them in warm water at 30℃, take them out after 8 hours, and wrap them with wet cloth. Rinse them with warm water every day, and they will germinate after a week. 2. Pot soil preparation Special potting soil is required for planting lisianthus. Usually, loose, fertile, well-drained sandy loam is selected. The potting soil can be prepared by mixing leaf mold, garden soil and organic fertilizer. This can provide certain nutrients. In addition, large-grained soil can be laid at the bottom of the pot to improve drainage. 3. Sowing and seedling raising Sow the seeds of lisianthus on the surface of the potting soil. There is no need to cover it with soil. Use the pot immersion method to replenish moisture. Do not water it directly, otherwise the seeds will be washed away. It will generally germinate 12-15 days after sowing, and thinning can be carried out after half a month. Key points for management of lisianthus1. Watering: Eustoma likes moisture but cannot tolerate waterlogging. Excessive watering will damage the roots of Eustoma and make it prone to disease. However, lack of water in the soil will weaken the growth of the plant and advance the flowering period. Therefore, watering should be moderate and water thoroughly when the soil is dry. 2. Light: Lisianthus is a sun-loving plant. It needs to be provided with sufficient light during its growth period to help the growth of stems, leaves and flower buds. The daily light time is about 16 hours. However, when the light intensity is relatively high in summer, it needs to be shaded to avoid exposure to strong light. |
