How to plant longevity flower seeds

1. Seed

First of all, it should be noted that not all longevity flowers bear seeds. Generally speaking, seeds exist only in a single petal. In addition, the value of this kind of flower is not high, so it is recommended that you do not sow seeds. It is best to buy seedlings directly. Of course, fewer people will choose to buy its seeds, so this is also a more difficult way. Because the seeds of this plant are very small, there are about 30,000 to 90,000 seeds in one gram.

two。 Matrix

Matrix this kind of thing first needs to determine its pH, generally we have to give it a pH between 6 and 6.5, in addition, we have to disinfect these things and water thoroughly. As for the composition of the matrix, we usually use one part of peat, one part of sand and four parts of vermiculite. The specific way is to plant the seed on the substrate without having to cover it.

3. Sprouting

After sowing the seed on it, we should cover it with a cleaner plastic or glass cover, and then put it in a place with astigmatism. We must not let the sun shine on it directly. It can sprout in about ten days, but what we need to make sure is that its temperature is about 17 degrees. As soon as the bud comes out, we will immediately remove the top cover.

4. Light

Because this kind of plant prefers short daylight, if it is planted in January, it is likely to lead to overnutrition, but some people say that giving daylight will not promote its flower bud differentiation before it has eight leaves, and then light can have an effect on it, so we can take measures to control it, as long as we give it a certain amount of light from ten o'clock in the evening to two o'clock the next day, and deal with it until March. It can still grow normally.

5. Transplant

Generally speaking, after we plant the seed for seven weeks, if it grows to a certain size, we can consider moving it into the basin. Generally speaking, a seed sown in March can be sold in December, and the size is about four inches, and it can grow to five or six inches around January of the following year.
