The King of Woody Flowers, do azaleas have seeds? How much is the seed per jin? When will it be ready? What?

Rhododendron, also known as rhododendron, pomegranate, azalea, Zhao Shan Hong, Tang Rhododendron, is a common evergreen shrub in southern China, Guizhou, Anhui, Jiangxi Province flowers, because of its high ornamental value and cultivation and indoor, park and other places, that rhododendron seeds? How much does a seed cost? When will it be ready? How?

Do you have seeds?

Yes, many plants we do not easily see fruit, but generally because of varieties, species, and growth environment reasons, can not form fruit, in fact, cross breeding is still the most important means of garden plants to get new varieties, azalea is no exception, if there is no seed, then how can new varieties be obtained by cross means? Some flowers, in fact, as long as artificial pollination, you will find that they can also bear fruit, while rhododendrons, wild varieties bear a lot of fruit.

Latest seed prices:

The market price of rhododendron seeds is about 35 yuan to 60 yuan a kilogram. The market price of rhododendron seeds varies from region to region, so when purchasing, the local price should prevail.

Planting time:

Sowing is generally carried out in pots in moderate temperature greenhouses in March and April, seedlings can emerge in 2-3 weeks at room temperature of 15℃, transplanted once when true leaves grow out for 3 days, planted in pots after autumn, and bloomed after 4 -5 years. Sowing: Rhododendron has high seed set, many seeds, high germination rate, a large number of offspring can be obtained with seeds, and the plasticity and vitality of the seedlings of Rhododendron amurense are strong, which is an important means of introduction and breeding.

Planting techniques:

1. Seed germination technology:

The capsule and net seed of Rhododendron amurense preserved at room temperature or low temperature (4℃) for more than 3 months were cultured by the method of germination in culture dish and seedling in flowerpot. The results showed that the germination rate of seeds preserved at low temperature was 96%. The germinated seeds were transplanted into flowerpots and covered with humus soil about 1cm thick. The seedlings grew vigorously and neatly, and the survival rate was high. From October to March of the next year, the rhododendron seedlings are placed in a greenhouse at 20 - 25 DEG C, and placed outdoors from April to September, the growth speed of the seedlings is improved, and the seedlings can grow normally without falling leaves in winter.

Seed collection: autumn gourd fruit was green-brown or yellow-brown, can be harvested, placed indoors to dry, until its cracking, shake out seeds, stored in indoor dry place. Sowing in the following spring.

2. Sowing

In shallow pots, wooden boxes or on the ground bed, with rhododendron good drainage of coarse soil floor, the top layer of 2 cm with orchid mud or decayed leaf soil (all need to be disinfected). After the seeds are removed, they are covered with a thin layer of fine soil. Or spread 0.5-1 cm of broken moss on the orchid mud, sow the seeds directly into the moss without covering. Then the soil is moistened with harmful water, covered with a film or glass plate, and placed in the shade.

3. Management

Keep the pot soil moist before emergence. Generally at 15-20℃, about 20 days germination, germination rate 75-85%. After that, the mulch can be removed, and ventilation should be paid attention to to improve seedling resistance. Spray wet with nozzle when dry, do not wash down seedlings.

4. Seedling division

Deciduous rhododendron grows faster, and can be transplanted for the first time when it grows 2-3 true leaves, with plant spacing of 2-3 cm. After autumn grows to 2-3 centimeters tall, digs up again transplant in 3 inches small pot, 3 plants a pot. In the second year, depending on the growth situation, the seeds are divided again, and flowers can be seen in 3-4 years. Evergreen rhododendron is transplanted for the first time after autumn and transplanted again in the next autumn. Seedling to avoid strong light, heavy rain, strong wind, soil should not be too wet, watering still spray.
