Seed propagation of coral flower

Step 1: Seed Selection

The seeds of coral flowers are large and small, and small seeds are generally better for planting.

You can pick up the tiny seeds with your hands or other tools, or dip a toothpick in water and stick the seeds on the surface of the substrate. Then cover them with soil (not too thick). Then put the seeding pot in the water, and keep the water depth at half the height of the pot.

Step 2: Sowing Temperature

The optimum temperature for sowing coral flowers is about 20℃ to 30℃. If it is lower than 20℃, the seeds of coral flowers will have difficulty taking root; if it is higher than 30℃, the seeds will be infected by bacteria and rot. The higher the temperature, the greater the proportion of rot, and the seeds will not grow or germinate and cannot survive.

In hot weather, you should not only water the plants, but also spray water around the soil in the pot to maintain the humidity of the environment and reduce the temperature.

Step 3: Planting seeds

As long as the above conditions are met, you can start sowing with confidence. Choose a suitable flowerpot, fill it with loose, fertile, slightly acidic soil, then throw the seeds directly into it and cover them with a thin layer of soil.

Step 4: Management after sowing

If there is a cold wave after sowing, you can wrap the entire flowerpot with plastic film to prevent wind from passing through and keep it warm and moist. After the seedlings emerge from the soil, you can remove the film.

Pay attention to providing sufficient light to the seedlings, and frequently observe and prune diseased dead branches and weak branches.

Fertilization should be applied in summer and autumn, once every ten days. Stop fertilizing in winter to prevent root rot.

Pay attention to the prevention and control of pests, and prescribe the right medicine according to the characteristics of the pests.
