How to plant dandelions, dandelion planting technology and management

1. How to plant

1. Collect seeds for later use: After the dandelion blooms, you need to collect its seeds. Put the collected seeds in the greenhouse. After 1-2 days, the flower disk on them will spread out. At this time, put them in a cool and ventilated place. After a few days, remove the fluff on them and the seeds will be ready for sowing.

2. Germination: Dandelions are generally sown in October and need to be germinated before sowing. Prepare a moist sand bed, place the seeds on it, water them once a day to ensure they are moist, and pay attention to air circulation. They will generally germinate in about a month.

3. Prepare potting soil: In order to make dandelions grow better, it is generally necessary to prepare potting soil for it. The soil can be made of garden soil, rotten leaf soil, rotted soil and yellow sandy soil. Mix them in a ratio of 3:2:3:2. In order to increase fertility, you can add an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer or superphosphate.

4. Sowing: Prepare the pot and fill it with soil, usually about 80%. Sow the seeds on the soil surface and cover them with a thin layer of soil. Water the seeds once after sowing to provide a moist environment, which will help them take root and sprout.

2. Daily Management

Dandelions should generally be placed in a sunny place, ensuring 6-7 hours of light a day, which will help the differentiation of flower buds. In spring and summer, water the plants every 1-2 days. In late autumn, water the plants sufficiently so that they can survive the winter. In addition, some liquid fertilizer should be applied during the growing period to provide nutrients for the plants.
