The stone flower is the general name of all the plants of the genus Caryophyllaceae and apricot family. It has a peculiar shape and bright colors, which makes many enthusiasts specialize in collection and cultivation, and has high ornamental value. So, when will the succulent stone flower seeds be sown? How to configure the basin soil? What is there to pay attention to?

When will the succulent stone flower seeds be sown?

Stone flowers can be easily pollinated by hand, and if two separate species bloom at the same time, the seeds mature about nine months later. The main sowing season in China is after autumn and September. Of course, it can also be sown in winter or spring. It is best to control the temperature at 12 to 15 ℃ at night and 24 to 27 ℃ during the day.

Second, how to configure the soil of raw stone flowerpot?

1. Choice of basin soil: the raw stone flower sowing pot uses a 6-8 cm shallow basin, tile basin plastic is available, and the distance between the basin soil and the mouth of the basin is 1-2 cm. Sowing soil should be loose and permeable and good water retention soil, the general main materials are nutrient soil, peat soil, red jade soil, deer marsh soil, wood carbon particles (breathable), rice husk carbon (breathable), plant ash (containing a variety of nutrients and trace elements), etc., auxiliary materials are hard cinder, coarse sand, perlite, vermiculite, fine blue stone and so on.

2. Soil treatment: the main and auxiliary materials of the raw stone flowerpot soil are mixed and sifted, the larger particles are placed below and the fine particles are placed on the top, and the surface is sprinkled with a thin layer of fine-grained soil of about one millimeter, and the disinfection is heated in a microwave oven for five minutes. The pot can also be soaked in boiling water to soak the soil thoroughly, and potassium permanganate can also be used as a soaking pot. When sowing in this way, the seeds are also sterilized, but the concentration is slightly higher.

Third, what should be paid attention to during maintenance?

1. Light management: the glass can be removed after the stone flower seeds germinate, and the newly germinated seedlings have a high demand for sunlight. The sun can play a role in dwarfing the seedlings. If there is not enough light in the germination period, the seedlings will have to grow at least for the first time before they can be dwarfed by light. The sun is strong at noon and needs shading. After the seed germinates, the root of the seedling is easily exposed, so it needs to be buried in the soil in time.

2. Fertilizer and water management: after the raw stone flowerpot soil keeps big humidity and other seeds germinate during the germination period of one month, the moisture content of the pot soil must be reduced, but the humidity of the basin soil must be ensured. When the basin soil is slightly wet, it needs to soak the basin. Generally, the soaking pot can be soaked in a certain container. Fertilization is carried out from 1 to 2 months after seed germination. The fertilizer should be very light and can be used as watering. If you are not sure, please do not rush to apply fertilizer. The nutrition in the soil is enough for it to grow for a period of time.

3. Peeling management: about three or four months after the seeds germinate, the seedlings will begin to peel for the first time. At this time, you can use electricity to shoot the seedlings to clearly see an obvious shadow. At this time, the sun and water supply need to pay attention to the sun is the necessary water to be properly reduced, so that it will not take long for the new plant to absorb the moisture of the old skin, and after the skin is completely dried, it can be supplied with water. Soon the small plants with patterns will be able to break out of the old skin.
