How to propagate digitalis

1. Live broadcast

Generally, we adopt the method of sowing. Before sowing, we need to make some preparations, including collecting the seeds, preparing the seedbed and the substrate. The seeds are collected when the fruit is ripe, and at this time we also need to use some methods to preserve them, such as threshing. We also need to soak it before sowing to germinate.

After that, we need to prepare the substrate of the seedbed. It is best to add fertilizer to the soil, and pay more attention to ventilation and drainage conditions.

Regarding the method of sowing, direct seeding is more suitable because it can save a lot of effort. We sprinkle it on the soil at certain intervals, and then sprinkle some rare earth on it. It will only keep it moist. Water it frequently. It only takes about ten days for it to grow well and sprout. During this process, we can use straw to keep it moist.

One thing we need to pay attention to about live broadcast is the time. In the north it is done in April or November, while in the south it is done in late autumn.

2. Seedling cultivation

We can also use the seedling raising method to allow it to reproduce. Generally, we choose flat or high beds in the south of the Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River, and sunny beds in the north. The base fertilizer in the north is mostly rotted horse manure.

Generally, we need to mix the fertilizer and soil thoroughly and then make it evenly distributed. After that, we sow the seeds in early March. Then we need to cover it with a mat to achieve the moisturizing effect. Generally, we open the mat at ten in the morning and cover it at four in the afternoon. In May, it will grow a few leaves, and then we will plant it in the field. Of course, we need to plant it at a certain distance, and then we need to water it after planting it in the field.

After it grows a little bigger, we can raise it in the normal way. When doing these steps, we need to control the water and fertilizer, and we must not lose sight of the big picture, which will lead to failure in the end.
