How to make chestnuts sprout quickly

Chestnut germination environment

Chestnut itself is a seed and a fruit. It likes a warm growing environment. When the average annual temperature is between 10.5℃ and 21.8℃, it is more suitable for the planting and growth of chestnuts. If the temperature is too high, the chestnuts will not hibernate enough and will not grow well. When the temperature is too low, they will be damaged by frost, which will greatly restrict their growth and development.

Chestnut germination process

Prepare a container of suitable size and plant the sprouted chestnut buds in the soil. Do not water too frequently. After about 30 days, the chestnut leaves will gradually grow out.

In addition, chestnut seeds can be planted directly to germinate, but the germination speed is relatively slow, so it is best to prepare them for germination.

Chestnuts sprout in the soil

Chestnuts can be stored in sand, which is done by mixing sand and chestnut seeds, then digging a hole in a dry place in winter, putting the seeds in and covering them with 40 centimeters of soil, then covering them with straw to keep them warm. Take them out when sowing in spring in March and April, spread base fertilizer, usually diammonium phosphate or compound fertilizer, then step on it to make it flat, lay the seeds flat, cover them with 5 centimeters of soil, and compact them.

Chestnut Sprouting Method

Chestnut seeds are not resistant to dryness, low temperature and hot weather. After the seeds are selected, they are fumigated with aluminum phosphide to kill insects, and then sterilized with methyl thiophanate solution. After the treatment, they are stored in layers with clean and moist river sand. In the spring of the following year, they are taken out and soaked in clean water, and then sown in loose, fertile, well-drained soil.

Chestnut sprout planting

Put loose and fertile soil in the flowerpot, water it to make it moist, and place the chestnuts with the pointed end facing downwards. Do not plant too deep. Water every 2-3 days or so to keep the soil moist. After about two or three weeks, seedlings will grow. Then put the potted plant on the windowsill, provide light, water it every day, and keep the soil moist.
