How to spread the seed of morning glory the method of sowing and propagation of morning glory

Morning glory is rich in varieties, and the color of the flowers is very gorgeous and beautiful, so it is a good choice to decorate the home with morning glory. And the breeding ability of morning glory is very strong, very easy to feed. But at this point, you may want to ask me what its breeding method is. The breeding method of morning glory can choose to sow seeds, and the propagation speed is fast. Let's get to know it together.

How morning glory spreads seeds

The seed of morning glory is wrapped in the pod. After the seed is ripe, the pericarp cracks, producing elasticity and ejecting the seed inside. So morning glory mainly depends on its own ejection to spread seeds.

Methods of sowing and propagation of morning glory

1. Prepare materials

The first choice is to have seeds that will make flowerpots 20 centimeters in diameter. if you use too small flowerpots, the roots of morning glory are not easy to elongate and do not grow healthily. However, if you want to improve the germination rate, it is best to choose a small flowerpot, a pot of seeds, after the seeds germinate and grow leaves, replant. Not to mention the soil and the necessary gardening tools.

2. Soaking seeds

Because the seeds of morning glory have a hard shell, it is not easy to germinate without soaking the seeds, so soak the seeds in water for one night.

3. Change the basin and load the soil

Put the prepared seedling soil into a small flowerpot, where the flowerpot is used to raise seedlings, fill it and press it with your hands, crush the large piece of soil and throw it to the bottom of the next pot. Then pour the water thoroughly and set it aside.

4. Sowing seeds

The seeds of morning glory are relatively small. When sowing, you can use tools, tweezers or spoons to put one on it and press it slightly. After sowing, put it in a wet environment, or in a nursery box.

Morning glory common pests are: aphids, leaf rollers, red spiders, cabbage insects. Pay attention to observation during maintenance and find that insects can be sprayed with related agents.

How to trim morning glory

1. Pick the heart

Morning glory has a light reproductive ability, and most of them can be planted from seeds. When the seedlings grow 3-4 leaves, the center begins to grow vines, at this time should begin to pick the heart for the first time. After a period of time, the leaves began to grow vines again, and when 3-4 leaves grew, they picked their hearts again.

(note: every time the heart needs to be fertilized in time, fertilizing and watering as close to the ground as possible, do not dirty the leaves, so as not to cause the leaves to fall off. )

2. Take off the bud

Morning glory grows rapidly and can blossom in the same year after planting, and the bud grows between the branches. After the bud is formed, the stipules under the bud can be cut off to promote the development of the bud. In order to ensure an adequate supply of nutrients, some small buds can also be removed.

After flowering, pick off the residual flowers in time. If properly controlled and the temperature is suitable, morning glory can bloom 3-4 times a year. 3. Plastic surgery

Potted plants: indoor potted plants can set up a support when the seedlings grow to 6 cm high to let them grow around, or when the seedlings grow to 7-8 leaves, leave 4 leaves to pick the heart to ensure that each pot plant does not exceed 9 buds. This can ensure that the plant type is plump. If there are conditions, you can also use the hanging basket to plant, hang it in the air and trim it regularly.

Ground planting: petunias are planted in the courtyard, which can be used as hedge decoration. The principle of pruning is to ensure that each branch grows evenly. When 9 vines grow, they can be evenly distributed in the walls for binding and growing alone, and hedges and flower walls can be formed soon.

Although the common role of morning glory is generally as a decoration home, in fact, it can also be used as medicine, its seeds have the role of detumescence. But it should be noted that it is the third part of the drug poison, you can use the seeds of morning glory to treat the disease, but also pay attention to its certain toxicity, do not take it directly.
