How to plant wintersweet seeds (method and time), can seeds bloom?

1. Planting method

1. Germination: When planting with seeds, you must germinate them first. Soak the seeds in warm water for a day, then pick out the floating seeds and leave only the sinking ones, because the floating ones will not germinate even if planted. Of course, if the seeds are fresh, there is no need to soak them.

2. Planting: After soaking for one day, sprinkle the seeds directly into the soil. Spread them evenly, then cover them with a layer of soil. It doesn’t need to be too thick, about one centimeter thick will be enough.

3. Maintenance: Water thoroughly after sowing. If the weather is dry, cover the soil with straw to keep it moist. Dry seeds germinate slowly, taking about two months, so be patient. New seeds germinate much faster, taking only a week or so.

2. Planting time

Wintersweet sowing is divided into spring sowing and autumn sowing. Its seeds mature in autumn, so fresh seeds planted in autumn germinate faster and have a better survival rate. Spring sowing means using dry seeds, which can germinate after germination, but it will take longer.

3. Whether it can bloom

It is possible to flower from seeds, but it will take a long time. After planting, what grows is dog plum, which needs careful care and cultivation before it can bloom, which takes at least two or three years.
