How to plant bulb seeds

1. Soil requirements for seed planting

Bulbs do not like a humid environment, especially cannot tolerate waterlogging, so it is necessary to ensure that the medium has sufficient air permeability and drainage. The medium generally chosen is coal slag, which can be mixed with a small amount of peat to solidify it, and then Akadama and orchid stone are sprinkled on the top of the soil, and then a layer of granular matter, such as river sand, etc. If possible, the soil can be disinfected before planting the seeds to prevent the seeds from being infected.

2. Watering management

Because the seeds of the bulb are very small, it is best to cover the pot with a layer of glass or plastic wrap after sowing. After sowing and before germination, watering is required, and be careful not to wash the seeds out of the soil. Immerse the flower pot in a basin filled with water and let the water soak into the culture soil from the small holes at the bottom of the flower pot. If the seedlings have sprouted, you can also use this method to water them.

3. Seed germination temperature

The surrounding temperature does not need to be too high when the bulb seeds are germinating. Generally, 20 degrees Celsius is the best. However, it should be kept at around 7 degrees Celsius at night to ensure normal germination of the seeds.

4. Nutrient requirements of seeds

Generally, light bulbs do not require a lot of nutrients, so there is no need to apply additional fertilizer to them. After planting the seeds, be sure to avoid them coming into contact with rain or being placed in the sun.

5. How long does it take to germinate?

After planting the seeds, you must wait patiently, because the germination of this plant is relatively slow compared to other varieties, generally taking half a month to one month.

The bulb seeds are very small, so you must always pay attention to them.

In general, it is relatively difficult to propagate bulbs by seeds, but if you master the method, you will still be able to harvest a lot of beautiful bulb succulents.
