Planting method and time of Verbena seeds, sowing time and precautions

Verbena seeds sowing time

Verbena is mostly planted by sowing, and the germination rate is relatively low, so you have to be cautious in choosing the time. It is best to choose spring because the temperature in this season is very suitable for its growth and development, and the humidity is also appropriate, which is conducive to germination and maturation after planting.

Key points for planting Verbena seeds

1. Prepare seeds

You can collect mature petunia seeds yourself, select the seeds, choose some seeds that feel full, and discard the shriveled seeds. Its seeds are very small, so pinch them gently with your hands when selecting them. The selected seeds can be soaked in warm water to germinate, and after germination, you can wait for sowing.

2. Sowing

After preparing the petunia seeds, sprinkle them evenly on the surface of the soil, keeping a certain distance between them and do not let the seeds overlap. After all the seeds are scattered, cover them with a layer of fine soil, move them to a cool and ventilated place, and water them appropriately to keep the soil moist.

The key points of using Verbena seeds to prolong life

Verbena needs to be placed in an environment with plenty of sunlight for cultivation, and must not be exposed to direct sunlight. When planting, choose soil with good drainage and some sandiness. When watering, follow the principle of "watering when dry and watering when wet", and there should be no accumulation of water.

In addition, pay attention to the ventilation environment after watering, and follow the principle of "thin fertilizer and frequent application" when applying fertilizer. Appropriately extend the interval between fertilization during the high temperature period in summer. After flowering, promptly cut off the dead flowers and branches to promote the sprouting of more new branches and flower buds and prolong the flowering period.
