How to plant sage and when to plant it

1. Planting time

Sage should be sown in spring or autumn. Judging from its germination habits, the climate temperature in these two seasons is more conducive to germination. Seedling cultivation should be carried out between September of each year and April of the following year, when the climate and temperature are more suitable for the seedlings and conducive to their growth.

2. Planting Method

1. Soaking to germinate: The seed shell of sage is very hard, so it must be soaked in warm water to germinate before sowing. Specifically, put it in water at 40 degrees and soak it for about 24 hours. The soaking time will not be good if it is too long or too short.

2. Prepare the soil: Its requirements for soil are not high, and ordinary garden soil can meet the needs. If you prepare the nutrient soil yourself, you must disinfect it before use to avoid insect eggs, which will hinder germination.

3. Sowing and planting: After preparing the soil, you can sprinkle the germinated seeds on it. Pay attention to temperature control after spreading. It is best to control the temperature between 20 and 25 degrees. When the temperature is suitable, the seedlings will emerge in about 10 to 15 days.

4. Thinning in time: When sowing by direct seeding, thinning should be carried out in time. Generally, it is done when the seedlings grow to 5-10 cm, and the spacing should be 20-30 cm, so that they can grow better in the later stage.
