Saffron planting time and method cultivation technology

Saffron Planting Time

Saffron is best planted around September in autumn, because the temperature at this time is relatively low and the climate is neither cold nor hot, which is very suitable for planting.

The planting time varies depending on the region where it is located. For example, the planting time in the north is earlier, while the planting time in the south is later.

Saffron planting methods and key points

1. When planting saffron, you can go directly to the seed store to buy high-quality, full and full seeds, which can ensure the quality of its growth. Then soak the selected seeds in warm water. After the seed skin absorbs enough water, you can take it out and put it in a warm place for germination.

2. The soil for planting 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 growing temperature for saffron should not exceed 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, it is necessary to water it in time to keep the soil moist, but be careful not to allow excessive humidity to prevent rot.
