When is the best time to sow Paris polyphylla seeds

Sowing time of Paris polyphylla seeds

Fritillaria thunbergii is usually sown in spring and autumn, usually planted around August to October in autumn, and can also be planted around April in spring. The survival rate of Fritillaria thunbergii planted in these two time periods is very high.

Paris polyphylla seed planting method and steps

1. Site selection and land preparation

Paris polyphylla is suitable for planting in shady places, and the irrigation and drainage conditions of the planting site should be convenient. It is suitable for planting in loose and fertile soil. Because the root system of Paris polyphylla is shallow, it has relatively high requirements for soil. The land must be refined before sowing. The soil must be plowed and finely tilled, the weeds must be removed, and then sufficient base fertilizer is applied. Finally, the land can be leveled.

2. Select seeds

Before planting Fritillaria cirrhosa, you should choose high-quality seeds, so as to increase the germination rate. When sowing, you should choose mature, plump and intact seeds. It is better to use new seeds. It is recommended not to use old seeds, which will greatly reduce the germination rate. Before sowing, you should expose the Fritillaria cirrhosa seeds to the sun for two or three days, and then mix them with wet sand to germinate, so as to make the germination effect better.

3. Sowing and seedling raising

Paris polyphylla is usually sown in spring. Before sowing, the soil can be deeply turned over and exposed to the sun. Its seeds can be sown in furrows with a row spacing of 30 to 35 cm. After the furrows are dug, the seeds are evenly spread in the soil and covered with a thin layer of soil. Keep the soil moderately moist and it will germinate in about a week.

Drainage measures must also be taken, otherwise the seedlings will be flooded and affect later growth. In addition, weeding work must be carried out to prevent weeds from affecting seed germination and seedling growth.
