How to sow tortoise shell dragon seeds

1. Season selection

You can choose to sow seeds in autumn because it is a plant that grows in winter. If you sow them in spring, they will go dormant in summer and it will be difficult to grow. The surrounding temperature is maintained at 18-25 degrees Celsius, which is suitable for growth and helpful for rooting and germination. If the surrounding temperature is not suitable, it will be difficult to grow.

2. Soil Selection

The flowerpot doesn't need to be too big, as long as it can accommodate the roots. The soil inside can be made of peat soil, vermiculite, Akadama soil, and coarse sand, which can ensure both air permeability and nutrition. Disinfect before use by exposing the flower pots and soil to the sun or soaking them in a disinfectant solution.

3. Sowing

Choose suitable seeds and sow them into the soil. Cover them with soil to prevent water from blowing the seeds off. The soil does not need to be too thick, about 0.5 cm is enough. After sowing, maintain the surrounding growth temperature at above 15 degrees Celsius at all times.

4. Maintenance and management

After sowing, management must be strengthened and cannot be left unattended. It likes water, so be sure to replenish water in time. After the seedlings grow out, be careful not to let the soil dry out completely.
