How to plant persimmon seeds

Persimmon seed planting time

Persimmon seeds are generally planted in spring or autumn every year, specifically between March in spring and August-October in autumn. The temperature is relatively high during these two times, and the air humidity is also relatively suitable. The seeds can germinate quickly after sowing, and the survival rate is also higher.

Persimmon seed planting method

1. Soil configuration: In order to increase the survival rate of persimmon seeds, suitable soil is needed for planting. Generally, loose, porous, fertile soil with good drainage and ventilation capabilities is used. It is best to use slightly acidic soil, which is more conducive to its growth.

2. Seed catalysis: Persimmon seeds need to be catalytically treated before sowing, which can increase its germination rate. They need to be soaked in water for about 6 days, and then taken out for use, or soaked in 40-degree warm water for 24 hours, and then taken out and cultivated in a moist environment.

3. Sowing and maintenance: After processing the seeds, the seeds and soil need to be disinfected. Then you can sow the persimmon seeds in the soil, cover them with a layer of soil, and water them, keeping the surrounding temperature between 20-25 degrees.

Precautions for daily management of persimmon

After persimmon seedlings emerge, you need to pay attention to the appropriate scattered light exposure during daily maintenance, and water and fertilize according to its growth. This will allow it to grow well. When fertilizing, appropriate inter-row cultivation and weeding should be carried out to prevent weeds from consuming too much nutrients.
