What to pay attention to when sowing vanilla plants

Planting density of herb plants

Basically, the seeds of vanilla plants are not very large and can be sown in holes, with one or more seeds being sown in each hole. If you use a seedling tray for sowing, you can generally sow 1,000 to 2,000 seeds per square meter.

When sowing, be aware that the entire seedling tray can be divided into several parts.

Planting of herbs

When sowing herbs, some seeds are larger and can be sprinkled directly on the soil or sown in rows.

Some seeds are relatively small, so they are usually mixed with clean fine sand and then sown.

If the seeds themselves are very large, the Coal Research Institute will directly sow them.

Depth of sowing vanilla seeds

When sowing vanilla, the sowing depth mainly depends on the size of the seeds and whether they need light.

Generally, when sowing, the sowing depth is about twice the diameter of the seed. Some seeds that need light do not need to be covered with soil.

Herb sowing treatment

After sowing the herbs, they need to be sprayed with water and watered thoroughly. This allows the seeds and soil to fully combine.

Then cover it with plastic film or glass. It does not need to be covered in summer, but it needs to be shaded to avoid affecting seed germination.
