Storage methods of common garden flower and tree seeds

There are two common storage methods of garden flower and tree seeds: dry storage and wet storage.

First, dry storage method: suitable for seeds with low water content. Common dry storage method and sealed dry storage method are commonly used.

1. The common dry storage method is suitable for most trees, shrubs and grass flower seeds. The storage should be fully dry, then put in a seed bag or barrel and placed in a cool, ventilated and dry room. And depending on the storage time and storage conditions, appropriate use of ventilation and moisture absorption equipment or desiccant.

two。 Sealed dry storage is not suitable for long-term seed storage, especially for some seeds that have lost their germinating power. Put the dried seeds in an airtight container, add an appropriate amount of desiccant to the container, and check regularly to replace the desiccant. Sealed dry storage method can effectively prolong the life of seeds, such as combined with low temperature conditions, the effect is better.

Second, wet storage method: suitable for seeds with high water content. Often limited to overwintering storage, and often combined with budding. Generally, seeds are mixed with 3 times the seed volume of wet sand or other substrates, buried in a well-drained ground or stacked indoors to maintain a certain degree of humidity. There are also layered accumulation of seeds and sand, that is, the so-called stratified storage. This kind of method can effectively maintain seed vitality, accelerate germination and improve the uniformity of seed germination. In addition, the seeds of some aquatic flowers, such as water lilies and jade lilies, must be stored in water in order to maintain their germinating power.
