1. Sowing method1. Sowing time: Plum blossoms are usually sown in spring or autumn. Spring sowing is from February to March, while autumn sowing has to wait until October to November. Its seeds germinate best in a warm climate, so in some colder areas, the sowing time can be delayed or advanced to ensure a good growing environment, or the seeds can be sown in a greenhouse. 2. How to germinate: In order to ensure the germination rate of plum blossoms, germination is generally required before sowing. To germinate, you need to soak the seeds first. Soak the seeds in warm water with the water temperature controlled at around 40℃. Take them out after soaking for a day, put them in sand, cover the surface with a layer of soil, and wait for them to germinate. Normally, only spring sowing requires germination, while autumn sowing does not. 3. Preparation of potting soil: Suitable soil plays a great role in the growth of plum blossoms. The soil should be loose and fertile, so that it has good drainage to prevent the seeds from being flooded, and has certain nutrients to help it grow. Generally, garden soil, river sand and leaf mold are mixed, and a small amount of organic fertilizer is added. After preparing the potting soil, water it first. 4. Sowing: Plant the germinated seeds into potting soil. Dig a small hole in the middle of the soil, not too deep. Put the seeds in, cover with a layer of potting soil, and spray water appropriately. In the early stages of growth, appropriate scattered light should be provided to avoid strong light exposure, which may be detrimental to the growth of the seedlings. Don't water too much, keep the soil slightly moist. 5. Subsequent maintenance: When the plum seedlings grow out, they need to be moved to a place with better lighting so that they can receive direct sunlight. You can water 1-2 times a week and apply some dilute liquid fertilizer. This type of fertilizer is easier to absorb and can speed up the growth of seedlings. 2. How long does it take to germinate?If plum blossoms are sown in autumn, they generally do not germinate until the spring of the following year. This plant does not grow fast, and it often takes a long time to see its flowers and fruits through seed propagation, so it is usually propagated by grafting. |
