Leek seed sowing timeChives can be sown from spring to autumn, usually in spring from March to May. It is better to sow early rather than late in summer, and it is also suitable for sowing in autumn. In Shandong area, the planting time of chives is after September. Chives usually bloom in August every year. Since the plant ages after flowering, it will affect its taste, so it is usually harvested several times before flowering. It grows very fast and will bloom soon after sowing. Paying attention to light and fertilization can make it bloom earlier. Leek seeds sowing in summerLeek seeds can be sown in summer, but the temperature is high and the seedlings are prone to drought and waterlogging, which affects the germination of the seeds. Therefore, when sowing leek seeds, you can sow more to ensure the survival rate and germination rate. How to sow chive seedsDirectly sow high-quality leek seeds in loose, fertile soil, then cover with a thin layer of soil, water thoroughly, and then cover with a layer of plastic film to keep warm and moist. If you are growing them in pots, you can put them in a place with sufficient scattered light. Generally, they will sprout in a week. If you are growing them in the ground, pay attention to the dryness and wetness of the soil. Generally, they will sprout in a week. Seed treatmentPlace the leek seeds in the sun to dry for 1-2 days in advance, then stir them in 40-degree warm water, take them out and wash them, then soak them in 30-degree water for 8-10 hours, and place them at 18-20 degrees to germinate. When the radicle of the seeds extends, they can be sown. Seed germinationLeek seeds germinate slowly, and it takes a long time for the sprouts to emerge from the soil. Even if they are sown after germination, it takes about 10 days from sowing to germination. Dry seed sowing requires 10-20 days for germination. Seed germinationAfter the leek seedlings emerge, the demand for water begins to increase. Pay attention to keeping the soil moist. Generally, water it once every 5 days. When the leek seedlings grow to about 10 centimeters, apply urea. When the leek seedlings grow to 15 centimeters, control the application of water and fertilizer to prevent the leek from growing too fast and falling over in the hotter season. |
