Saffron planting method and time cultivation technology (detailed explanation)

Saffron Planting Time

Saffron is best planted around September in autumn, because the temperature is relatively low at this time, and the climate is neither cold nor hot, which is very suitable for planting. The planting time varies in different regions, such as earlier in the north and later in the south.

Saffron planting methods and key points

1. Seed selection and germination

When planting saffron, you can go directly to the seed store to buy high-quality, plump and full seeds, so as to ensure the quality of its growth. Then soak the selected seeds in warm water.

The soil for growing saffron can be mainly garden soil, mixed with fine sand, leaf mold, and a little base fertilizer. In order to achieve the effect of disinfection, you can also add appropriate carbendazim solution. After the soil is ready, you can put the germinated seeds in, cover them with soil and water them enough.

Saffron planting precautions

The best growth temperature for saffron is not more than 20 degrees, but in winter, if the temperature is below 5 degrees, it needs to be covered with a film. During its growth period.

If there is no rainfall for a long time, you need to water it in time to keep the soil moist, but be careful not to make the humidity too high to avoid rot.
