After selecting the land, it is necessary to turn the soil deeply and apply an appropriate amount of base fertilizer to smooth the soil.

2. Sowing and raising seedlings: how to sow seeds?

(1) seed collection and treatment: after the kapok is ripe, the fruit will be harvested and exposed to the sun for a few days, and then the seeds can be collected by shaking hard. It is best to disinfect the collected seeds in 0.3% potassium permanganate solution, then rinse them in clean water and dry them.

(2) sowing method: sow the treated seeds on the soil, then cover the soil with 2cm or so, pour proper amount of water, and the seeds will germinate after three or four days, and grow into seedlings in a few days.

3. Planting management technology: how to manage it?

(1) moisture requirements: after successful sowing of kapok seeds, the soil should be kept moist, when two leaves were grown, they should be watered in time, and after successful planting, enough water should be irrigated to ensure sufficient water content of the plant.

(2) Illumination requirements: kapok is not resistant to strong sunlight, so shading measures should be taken at high temperature and strong light to prevent heat damage, sunburn and other bad phenomena.

(3) Fertilizer requirements: kapok fertilizer requirements are not high, generally in about a month after unearthed, fertilizer should be applied in time, to be planted at least three times a year after topdressing, and as far as possible hole application, to prevent fertilizer damage.

(4) pruning and shaping: after kapok grows for a period of time, all kinds of dwarf branches, diseased branches, residual branches and other branches that are not conducive to plant growth will grow. At this time, these useless branches should be cut off according to the tree situation, so as to promote the uniform growth of each branch and maintain a good tree shape.

1. Rational fertilization: kapok does not have high requirements for fertilizer, and generally the soil with medium fertility and high phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be successfully planted, so during the planting period, a small amount of rotten cake fertilizer or base fertilizer can be applied. Add an appropriate amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before and after flowering.

2, should not irrigate too much water: kapok does not require high moisture, generally as long as keep the soil moist, so do not irrigate too much, so as to avoid waterlogging, affecting plant growth.

3. Reasonable pruning: during the growth period of kapok, diseased branches, dense branches, residual branches and dwarf branches should be cut off in time according to the tree potential, so as to promote the growth of new branches.
