When will the snowballs be sown? How do you know?

When is the snowball planted?

The planting season of fragrant snowball seeds varies from north to south. In the northern region, sowing is generally carried out in the greenhouse around March in spring, and the temperature should be kept at about 20℃. The time of emergence after sowing is very short, only 5 days can emerge, and when 3-5 true leaves grow, they can be planted in pots. In contrast, in North China and South China, seeds are often sown in autumn, probably between August and September, and are protected by cold beds after sowing.

How do you keep snowballs?

1. soil

Small flowers are planted at home, most of which are potted. There are many ways to allocate soil, such as garden soil plus furnace soil, garden soil plus ceramsite to thicken sand, grass ash plus furnace soil plus ceramsite, etc., so as to improve the drainage performance of soil as much as possible without affecting the respiration ability of plant roots. After the nutrient soil is ready, the plants can be put into the pot. It must be watered at the first time after entering the pot, and placed in a place without strong light, so that the plants can adapt to this environment more quickly.

2. Rupen

The seedlings of fragrant snowballs were fastidious when they were put into the pot, but they were not good just by inserting them randomly. First of all, put the small seedlings into the flowerpot with subsoil, then cover a layer of coarse granular soil around them, which can play the role of maximum drainage, and then cover a layer of soil with base fertilizer, the height of which should not reach the new leaves of the small seedlings, and be lower than the edge of the flowerpot. Fertilizer should be fully mixed with the soil to avoid fertilizer concentration in one place. If it comes into direct contact with the roots of the seedlings, it is likely to burn the seedlings and affect their growth.

3. pinching

Before flowering comes, there is an important step, that is, picking the top leaf heart, usually needs to be done twice, the first time is to let the plant grow more branches, the second time is to let the plant produce more flowers. Half a month after transplanting, the plant can grow into a formed seedling. This time is the best time to pick leaves for the first time. The length of the top branch should be determined according to the specific growth of the plant.

Usually only three to five leaves can be left, the rest can be removed; later you can find that the plant will sprout some branches, its plant shape becomes more round and full, but in order to plant in flowering can bloom more flowers, this time to stop the growth of branches, branch removal and the first operation is the same, at least play a different role.
