How to plant seeds of Dichondra repens

Dichondra is a metal plant of Convolvulaceae and horseshoe. Note that Dichondra should not be confused with authentic money grass (passing yellow). It grows on roadsides, hillsides, grasslands or ditches, and has been introduced and cultivated artificially. So do you know how to grow Dichondra seeds?

Seed planting method of Dichondra repens

1. Land preparation

Do a good job in the topography of the land, where it should be high and where it should be depressed. Once the seeds are planted, it is not good to change the terrain. After determining the topography, remove all weeds and apply 3-5 tons of agricultural fertilizer per mu. The fermented chicken manure and cow manure are the best, and all the topsoil is ploughed once.

2. Sowing seeds

After finishing the land, you can sow. The seeds of Dichondra repens are small and mainly sowed. When there is no wind, sow the seeds evenly, then cover the soil with a little positive pressure of 1cm to 2cm and cover with plastic film or degradable non-woven fabric after watering. If the temperature is good, germinate in about 10 days. after germination, pay attention to timely watering to accelerate the growth of shoots.

3. Field management

Within 2 months of planting Dichondra, you need to weed manually. Remember not to use herbicides. Currently, no herbicide can be used on Dichondra repens. The area of the courtyard garden is small, and the mechanical cultivated land is difficult, so it is generally used to turn the soil or spray water to sow seeds. If you can't turn the soil, remove the weeds and sow the seeds directly, but water them every day before germination to keep the seeds absorbing enough water to guide about half a month after germination.

If we want to properly control the growth size of Dichondra when we plant Dichondra in our family, the too large Dichondra will be ugly and difficult to feed. Pot planting can also provide limited nutrition, but we can use some liquid fertilizer to spray on the leaves. That's all for today's planting method. We'll see you in the next article.
