How to plant dandelions?

Dandelion growing in the wild is very tenacious. It can not only propagate seedlings by sowing seeds, but also buy potted seedlings on the market. And the maintenance and management of potted dandelion can also be relatively rough, and do not need to be spoiled, it can be said that the potted cultivation of dandelion is very simple. So, how to plant dandelions?

Dandelions are covered with treasures and can be eaten from stems and leaves to roots. Since dandelions are easier to grow, we can go to the wild to dig dandelion seedlings and come back for potted plants. Today, the editor will share with you the method of potted dandelions.

I. digging seedlings in the field

First of all, we went to the wild to find some wild seedlings of dandelion with strong growth, and then dug them back together with the soil.

2. Planting in pots

After preparing the flowerpot and preparing the culture soil, remove the excess soil from the collected dandelion and plant it in the flowerpot directly. After pouring through the water, put it in a cool and ventilated place, and then wait for it to smoothly slow down the seedlings and take the basin until it is restored to its former vitality.

III. Maintenance and management

After the plant germinates new roots and returns to normal growth, we need to move the flowerpot to the balcony and other places where there is plenty of light to properly receive light to promote growth; usually pay attention to watering to maintain the water needed for the normal growth of the plant. avoid that the pot soil is too dry and not watered, otherwise there will be poor growth.

IV. Timely harvest

The flowering of dandelion basically begins in April, and the seeds will produce after May. After the seeds are ripe, we can harvest them and store them or wait for the opportunity to sow. At the same time, we can also wait for the opportunity to harvest leaves to eat. Dandelions bloom sporadically throughout the year, so delicate little yellow flowers can be seen almost all year round, and parachutes can often float in the wind.

It should be noted that if digging seedlings in the wild, it should be carried out in late autumn, especially when the leaves of the plant change from green to red, because the seedlings collected at this time are more likely to survive after potting. After a winter of maintenance and management, it will be able to blossom and bear seeds in the spring of next year.

Moreover, after the seeds are harvested and sown in the same year, the rhizomes of the plants are often relatively tender, so they are generally not suitable for harvesting stems and leaves in the same year, but they usually need to be eaten when the plants grow stronger and the rhizomes are stronger in the coming year. In this way, the plant will have sufficient bearing capacity to restore its "vitality" after being "damaged".
