Before sowing, the soil should be watered once, and then the seeds should be sowed evenly on the ground, covering about 1 cm of soil. After sowing, the soil should be kept and germinated in about 3-4 days at an average daily temperature of 20-25 degrees. You can also use the method of on-demand, generally sowing 2-3 grains per hole, the distance between the holes is about 5 cm.

The leaves can grow within a week of germination, and the branches and buds will gradually be dense, so it is necessary to do a good job of interseedling work, especially in the way of sowing, as the seedlings continue to grow and wait for them to grow 4-5 leaves. At this time, the interval between the plants should be more than 5 cm. Soil should be cultivated around the roots after the seedlings to prevent the seedlings from lodging. In the seedlings, the requirements for light are relatively strict, lack of light will affect the synthesis and accumulation of photosynthates, its root expansion will be blocked, slow, poor quality, it is necessary to ensure more than 12 hours of light every day in order to bloom normally.

4. Fertilizer and water management

Cherry radish grows leaves, and its stem will gradually thicken. If the soil is dry, remember to water and replenish water. Once the water is insufficient, its stem will become hard and curved. After growing this leaf, it is usually necessary to apply fertilizer every 10 days. Liquid fertilizer is suitable.
