Around the end of April or early May of the following year, you can take it out and sow it.

2. The selection of substrate: this step is very important and directly affects the survival rate of seeds. The principles of selection are loose, rich in humus, deep, and so on, and some loam can be mixed with sand.

3. Seed treatment: before sowing, we need to mix the seed with the new high-fat membrane to enhance its respiratory intensity, prevent virus infection and improve its germination rate.

4. Formal sowing: we can sow seeds by means of strip sowing or spreading. After sowing, we need to cover a layer of soil mixed with plant ash and water it thoroughly.

5, post-treatment: after the sowing has been watered, we should also pay attention to keep the soil in a moist state, and it is best to water thoroughly each time. And then wait for it to sprout. After they emerge, we should apply some thin fertilizer and water, which can speed up the growth and development of the seedlings, but be careful not to have too high concentration. When the seedlings grow to five to six inches high, you can choose those seedlings that look stronger and transplant them in flowerpots or flower beds.

Pay attention to shading after transplantation. Purple jasmine management is extensive, easy to grow, pay attention to proper fertilization, watering. Purple jasmine is a wind-pollinated flower, and different varieties are easy to hybridize. In order to maintain the characteristics of the variety, it should be cultivated in isolation.

2. Cuttage: foot buds, terminal buds and axillary buds can be used as cuttings for cutting propagation of purple jasmine, in which foot buds have the strongest growth potential, species are not easy to degenerate, and strong disease resistance, sand, slag and garden soil are used as substrates. After cutting, the temperature was controlled for about 20 ℃, and it could take root in 10 days. After rooting, it was transferred to a container to cultivate seedlings.

3. Root tuber: the old tuber root of Mirabilis can be propagated and used repeatedly for 3 ~ 5 years, and the species will decline gradually after the second year. In the south of the Yangtze River, the root tuber can safely survive the winter and become bulb flowers. In the area where it can not overwinter, the plant can be cut off from 3cm to 5cm on the ground after frost, and the root tuber can be dug out. When the skin is dried, it is placed in a dry place without direct sunlight, and the winter is not watered, the temperature is controlled at about 10 ℃, and the new plant is sent out again after planting in the following year.

Growth habits of purple jasmine

Purple jasmine likes mild and humid climatic conditions, is not cold-resistant, and dies above ground in winter. It can safely survive the winter in the underground part of the south of the Yangtze River and become perennial grass flowers, and new plants will continue to grow next spring. Open-field cultivation requires deep, loose and fertile loam. Pot cultivation can use general flower culture soil, and grow better in slightly shaded places. Flowers bloom from evening to early morning, close in strong light, grow and blossom well if there is shade in summer, and defoliation often occurs in the scorching sun. Like good ventilation environment, summer has the effect of mosquito repellent.

In fact, purple jasmine planting is very simple, and even casually throw a few seeds into the soil, after a period of time it will sprout itself, grow up slowly, almost without thought, and it is still slowly expanding its own field!
