How to plant longan

1. Soak the kernels

Clean the flesh and white soft tissue on top of the longan core to avoid attracting insects later. Then soak it in clean water for about 4 to 6 days. During this period, be sure to change the water once a day. When the core cracks slightly, you can plant it. You can also soak it for 2 to 3 days after cracking, which is more conducive to the emergence of new shoots.

2. Prepare the soil

Choose a flower pot without holes and fill it about 80% full with soil. Spray water appropriately to make the surface of the soil slightly moist.

3. Sowing

After the fruit core cracks, you can spread it directly on the soil surface, one next to the other without leaving any gaps. It is best to choose seeds with similar crack sizes and plant them together, so that they will germinate at the same time later.

4. Post-maintenance

After planting the fruit core, fill the tiny gaps with soil and cover it with a layer of gravel. Then press it gently with your hands, and spray water back and forth for about 3 circles to make the soil and the fruit core completely wet. After that, remember to spray water once a day. It will germinate in about 8 to 10 days.
