Saffron Planting Methods

1. Planting method selection

Usually when planting saffron, there are two planting methods. The first is to sow seeds, and the second is to directly plant seedlings. If you are a novice planting saffron, it is best to plant it with seedlings, as the survival rate is higher.

2. Soil selection

Points to note when planting saffron

1. Saffron is relatively shade-tolerant, but if there is no light for a long time, the growth of saffron will be weak and the leaves will gradually lose color, so it can be placed under diffuse light for maintenance.

2. Saffron has very high requirements for water and needs to be watered every 3-5 days. In winter, the amount of watering must be strictly controlled, otherwise it is easy to get frostbite. At this time, you can water it every 10 days.
