How to sow the red hibiscus

Conditions for sowing red hibiscus

Before sowing, the first thing we need to understand is the optimum temperature and the best period for sowing Chinese amaranth. First of all, the optimum temperature for germination of Chinese amaranth is between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius. This requires us to choose spring and summer when sowing. In addition, the optimum temperature for the growth of Chinese amaranth is between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius, so if the growth temperature is very low, it needs to be kept warm. The generally suitable growing season is from July to September.

Selection of seeds for sowing

The seeds of the red hibiscus should be selected with full and mature grains. The seeds of the red hibiscus are relatively small, so when selecting seeds, you should not use seeds with scratches or cracks. After selecting the seeds, save them well and proceed to the next step.

Preparation of soil for sowing red hibiscus

The soil requirements for the growth of Amaranthus aviculare are actually not high. However, when sowing, it is best to use fertile loam or sandy soil. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that the soil is loose and breathable, with good drainage. If conditions permit, it is best to disinfect the soil before sowing. This can remove the seeds of weeds in the soil on the one hand, and remove the eggs of pests on the other hand, killing two birds with one stone.

Specific steps for sowing red hibiscus

This step is actually the simplest one. To sow the red amaranth, you only need to evenly sow the selected seeds in the prepared soil. After sowing, cover them with a thin layer of soil, then water them enough and maintain them carefully. Under normal circumstances, if the temperature is suitable, they can grow into mature plants within a month, and they are very beautiful.
