Kalanchoe flowers are not commonly propagated by sowing seeds. The main reason is that only single-petal flowers have seeds, and the value of such flowers is low, and it is also difficult to collect seeds. Sowing is mostly carried out in March. Use peat, sand and vermiculite to mix as the substrate. Sprinkle the seeds evenly on the surface of the substrate and cover it with a film to keep it warm. Then place it in a place with scattered light, germinate in about ten days, and then remove the plastic film for maintenance.

1. Sowing time: Sowing time is usually carried out in spring or autumn. The temperature during these two periods is suitable and promotes growth. The most ideal time is March, when warmer temperatures are beneficial to seedlings.

2. Seed selection and collection: Since there is only a single petal Only Kalanchoe flowers have seeds, so there are fewer choices. In addition, because the seeds are small, it is not convenient to collect them, and more careful selection is required.

3. Substrate production: Seeds have strict requirements on the growth environment. Choose slightly acidic soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.5. Mix peat, sand and vermiculite in a ratio of 1:1:4 and then sterilize.

4. Sowing process: Seeds of longevity flower Sprinkle evenly on the surface of the substrate, then lightly press the substrate without covering it with soil. Then cover it with plastic film and place it in a place with astigmatism. The temperature should be controlled at about 17°C. It will take about ten days to germinate. After germination, remove the film.

2. Seedling maintenance

The maintenance of Kalanchoe in the seedling stage is particularly important. The first is temperature control. Temperatures that are too high or too low will cause seedlings to stop growing or even die, so they need to be kept warm. The second issue is lighting. Seedlings should not be exposed to direct sunlight to avoid water evaporation. In addition, watering should not be too much, so that it is moist but not waterlogged. Pay attention to these aspects, and the seedlings will naturally grow healthily.
