How long does the succulent seed sprout? When is the right time to sow? How to plant it?

At present, most people like to plant flowers and plants at home to improve the quality of the environment. The succulent plant, which is called "the cutest plant in history", has become a hot topic for family planting. So, how long does it take for succulent seeds to germinate? When is the right time to sow? How to plant it?

How long does the succulent seed sprout?

Succulent seeds usually germinate in 5-15 days. Put it in a warm environment with light.

When is the right time to sow succulent plants?

In fact, when to sow succulent plants cannot be divided solely by months and seasons, because our country has a vast territory, a great difference in climate between the north and the south, and a great degree of human intervention in the sowing environment. generally, the time of sowing should be determined according to the local climate temperature.

Many flower friends buy succulent plant seeds and are in a hurry to sow them. The seeds are sown before they germinate in the next month, regardless of the sowing temperature. Some people sowed Sedum Sedum at more than 30 degrees Celsius, while others continued to sow Sedum Sedum at 15 degrees Celsius. Sowing seeds when the temperature is not suitable often results in low germination rate or no germination at all.

Life has its own way, which is very understandable. If we have to sow Sedum in the hot summer and severe winter, the seeds will not give you face. We should choose to sow the right seeds at the right temperature in the right season and follow the laws of nature. For example, on a hot summer day, when the hands are itchy, it is perfectly possible to sow immortal seeds. In the long and cold winter, there is heating in the northern house, meat cone, raw stone flowers are good choices.

You can refer to this temperature to choose succulent plant seeds: sedum seeds 20 ℃; stone flower seeds 15 ℃ ~ 20 ℃; succulent cones 15 ℃; cactus more than 30 ℃. The temperature needs to be continuous and do not sow seeds when the temperature changes sharply. The temperature is not an absolute value, it is the average reference value of the day. It is not that the high or low temperature will not be broadcast, but this is the best germination temperature agreed by everyone after practice, which is for your reference only.

How to grow succulent plants?

1. Cultivated soil: the soil is required to be loose and permeable, with good drainage, but with a certain water retention capacity, neutral or slightly acidic. Highland globules (Yuehua jade, amber jade) and peony can add a little more rice chaff ash and small-grained weathered rocks. Tall columnar species can be mixed with large grains of quartz sand to fix the plant.

two。 Transplant and planting: generally, it should be carried out during the recovery period just after the plant dormancy. Root should be trimmed before planting. After root trimming, you should hang it for a few days and then plant it with wet soil. After planting, do not rush to water the sun and do not apply fertilizer within a month.

3. Regulation of temperature and light: cacti and succulent plants usually prefer warmth and large diurnal temperature differences. Except for epiphytic cactus and 12-volume species, the light should be adequate, but soft. For this reason, except for a few flat stem nodes, tall columnar species and some tequila plants, they should be cultivated in the greenhouse all the year round.

The types of epiphytic types should be shaded except in winter, combined with cooling in summer, and the degree of shading should be between 50% and 70%. Most terrestrial cacti grow most vigorously under the conditions of 28 ℃ to 35 ℃ in the daytime and 10 ℃ to 15 ℃ at night. The succulent plants growing in summer can basically adjust the temperature with reference to terrestrial cacti. Their requirements for light are relatively low, and some species with expanded stem bases are not cold-resistant and should maintain a higher temperature in winter. Succulent plants growing in winter should be ventilated and cooled to keep cool during the summer dormancy period. Sufficient sunshine is required in winter, and the lowest temperature should be maintained above 7 ℃.

4. Watering and fertilization: watering should be carried out according to its growth state. No matter the type of dormancy in winter or summer, stop watering the basin during the dormancy period. But the types of summer dormancy must be dried in aisles and other places to maintain a certain degree of air humidity. On the other hand, the plants in the vigorous growth period should fully meet their water demand. The seedlings should be watered more, but the big balls should be less (refers to the times); the terrestrial type should be watered less, and the epiphytic type should be watered more; the buds and blossoms should be watered more, the flowers and fruits laggard and less; the leaves with more and thinner leaves should be watered more, and the leaves with thicker but less leaves should be watered less.

Fertilization should be carried out in the vigorous growth period and budding stage. Organic manure must be fully mature. When applying chemical fertilizer, the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is 5 ∶ 15 ∶ 10 or 5 ∶ 10 ∶ 10, and a small amount of trace elements should be mixed. The application of fertilizer is light but not thick, and can be applied several times when needed. Fertilization is prohibited for those with root injury, poor growth, stem and leaf injury and so on.

5. Pest control: the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests is mainly based on prevention. First of all, the environment should be clean and tidy. Exotic plants must be strictly guarded and placed in the shed only when they are sure that there are no diseases and insect pests. The concentrated spraying in the shed in early winter, early spring and before Meiyu can get twice the result with half the effort. In addition, it has a good preventive effect on the disinfection of cultured soil. The commonly used agents are mainly fungicides for disease prevention and treatment (such as carbendazim, thiophanate, chlorothalonil, Dysen zinc, etc.) and insecticides (such as omethoate, acaryl alcohol, marathon, fenvalerate, etc.).

The concentration of the insecticide should be controlled strictly according to the instructions, especially the insecticide, which will cause drug damage if the concentration is a little higher, which is particularly sensitive to Diguan and some Euphorbiaceae succulent plants. The spray must be sprayed several times in a row to be effective (2 days apart). The same kind of drug should be changed after being used twice. Long-term use of a pesticide is easy to produce drug resistance.
