How to plant geranium seeds

1. Seed Collection

1. Most geraniums produce seeds, but a few do not, so it is convenient to collect seeds. This plant grows randomly, has many varieties, and is easy to mutate. It is said that the seeds will grow wherever they land, but when collecting and sowing the seeds yourself, you can control the variety and shape, and they are not as messy as those in the wild.

2. When the seed pods begin to mature, they will slowly change color, and then some of them will begin to eject seeds outward. At this time, you can collect them in a paper bag and save them for future sowing. You can also buy the seeds yourself.

2. Sowing Method

1. Prepare a seedling tray and fill it with substrate. Geranium has no special requirements for the soil, but it must not be too sticky. Breathability and looseness must be basically guaranteed. If the soil quality is not up to standard, you can add some sandy soil, or you can mix peat, vermiculite and perlite and stir them evenly to make a substrate.

2. Sprinkle the collected seeds on the soil. If it is a tray with intervals, you can sow them according to the grid. If there are no intervals, sow them at a suitable distance, not too dense. There is no need to press, and after the sowing is completed, a layer of coarse sand will be covered on it.

3. Place it directly in the greenhouse or in the open air. As long as the temperature is not too low, there will be no big problem. The temperature will vary depending on the climatic conditions in different places. They will sprout one after another in about a week, of course some will sprout earlier.

3. Post-maintenance

1. This plant has a strong resistance to moisture and heat. After all, it is a flower that can grow in roadside ditches and mostly grows in humid places. You can give more water, but not too much. Long-term water accumulation at the roots is not conducive to plant growth. You can move it outside to bask in the sun.
