Strong seedlings can be cultivated only by sowing seeds, and only with seedlings can they be used to cultivate flowers. Only by mastering the methods of sowing and raising flower seedlings can you successfully raise seedlings and grow beautiful flowers.

The process of sowing flowers

Preparation before sowing flowers

1.Soaking seeds

Seeds Those with thinner skins can be soaked in cold water, those with thicker seed coats can be soaked in warm or hot water, and very small seeds do not need to be soaked.

2. Prepare seedling boxes/pots

The advantages of seedling pots are seed saving, uniform nutrition, neat emergence, easy transplantation, and convenient seed counting. Germination rate. When sowing directly into the ground, the temperature and humidity of the soil are difficult to control, and the soil may contain microorganisms that are not conducive to seed germination and growth.

3. Seedling cultivation substrate

Choose a substrate with loose soil, good air permeability, good fertilizer and water retention, and a clean substrate. You can mix peat soil and coconut bran. , vermiculite, etc. are mixed for use.

4. Potting

Mix the substrate evenly and then pot it. No compaction is required, just level the soil surface.

5.Water

Control the amount of water, carefully pour the pot soil thoroughly, and finish the watering You can then pour fungicidal chemicals on the soil to disinfect it.

1.Sowing density

When sowing in hole pots, sow 1 or more seeds per hole; use seedling pots When sowing, sow 1-2 seeds per square meter.

2.Sowing

When the flower seeds are large, they can be evenly spread on the substrate, or drilled. , sow on demand; when the flower seeds are small, mix the seeds with clean fine sand evenly and then sow.

3.Sowing depth and soil covering

Sowing depth is determined by seed size and light requirement for seed germination. , Generally speaking, the sowing depth of seeds is 2-3 times the diameter of the seeds.

4.Spray water

After sowing and covering with soil, use a fine mist sprinkler to water the seeds thoroughly.

5.Cover

Cover the seeding tray with glass, mulch, or plastic film to maintain air humidity , can keep warm in winter. In the summer when the temperature is high, the film does not need to be covered, and the film must also be ventilated on both sides.

Management of flowers after sowing

1.Temperature

Generally speaking, the germination temperature of seeds is between 20-25 degrees. Provide an appropriate temperature environment according to the requirements of the flower species.

2.Humidity

Add less water when raising seedlings in winter, and add water at any time according to actual conditions when raising seedlings in summer.

3.Light

Generally speaking, seeds germinate easily under light conditions. Exposure to light will cause the seedlings to grow leggy.

4.Tear off the covering

After the seeds germinate, the covering should be removed in time, but still Maintain the temperature of the substrate to allow ungerminated seeds to elongate their shells.

5.Transplantation

When the seedlings grow to a certain size, they must be transplanted and cultivated in time, otherwise the seedlings will become too long. Or production delays.
