How to plant Xanthoceras sorbifolia in pots

1. Prepare the soil

If you are planting in pots, you need to prepare a flowerpot first. The size needs to match the plant. You cannot use a large pot for a small seedling, or a small pot for a large seedling. The soil must first be breathable, have a certain degree of permeability, and have good drainage. It should not be too sticky. Sandy soil with high nutrient content can be used.

2. Seed Processing

Around August every year, the outer skin of the fruit begins to turn yellow-brown and cracks appear on the outside, indicating that the seeds are ripe and can be collected. About 10-20 days before sowing, prepare the seeds and soak them in warm water for about 24 hours. When the seeds sprout, they can be sown.

3. Planting the seeds

After the seeds germinate, they can be sown. First, soak the soil, then sprinkle the seeds evenly on the flowerpot, pay attention to the spacing, and cover them with a thin layer of soil, which does not need to be too thick, to ensure that the seedlings can emerge.

4. Seedling Management

After the seedlings grow out, you must pay attention to the water aspect. The humidity cannot be too high, otherwise it will cause root rot or even lodging.
