How to plant the seeds of Clematis paniculata

Nasturtium is not only used as medicine, but also has the functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials, nourishing yin and reducing fire, etc. At the same time, it has ornamental value because of its green leaves and beautiful flowers and leaves like lotus. It is precisely because the flowers and leaves of this kind of flower plant have extremely high ornamental and very suitable for planting as potted plants, put them on balconies, windowsills, even indoor desks, several tables, etc., often can play a very good decorative role.

Although nasturtium is a perennial plant, potted plants are generally planted as one or two years, so the viewing effect is better. Moreover, nasturtiums often use sowing methods to breed seedlings, so how do nasturtiums seed grow? Below, Xiaobian will share with you the planting method of nasturtium seeds.

1. Harvesting seeds

The flowering period of nasturtium is relatively long, in addition to a long time to see flowers, but also relatively easy to bear seeds. However, the newly harvested seeds should not be preserved immediately, generally to dry for a few days, and then stored. Of course, if necessary, you can also directly sow.

II. Sowing time

Nasturtium can be sown in spring and autumn, and in southern areas as long as the temperature is suitable, it can be sown. However, because the northern region is often too hot in summer and too cold in winter, autumn sowing is generally more suitable than spring sowing, and it will not affect the growth period, and flowering is also lasting.

III. Soaking seeds and accelerating germination

In order to improve the germination rate of nasturtium seeds and make them germinate smoothly as soon as possible, tissue germination method can be generally used to germinate seeds. Soak the seeds in warm water for 1 day, and then put them on wet paper towels in greenhouse environment for germination. After the seeds are exposed to white fibrous roots, they can be sown. The germination process takes about 3 days.

IV. Seedling management

After germination, nasturtium seeds can be sown into the soil. The original culture soil can be prepared by using peat soil, pearlite and vermiculite, and then mixed according to equal ratio. If the temperature and humidity conditions are met, it usually takes 3-5 days to sprout smoothly. When the seedlings are extracted from 5-6 leaves, they should be removed in time to promote their germination, leaving about 4 large leaves.

V. Planting in upper pots

When the outdoor temperature rises above 10°C, we need to transplant the nasturtium seedlings in time, but in order to speed up the seedling pot, we usually need to transplant with soil. The soil preparation method is roughly the same as before, except that in order to improve the fertilizer in the pot soil, 10% chicken manure and earthworm manure can be added as base fertilizer.

VI. Conservation management

After the seedlings are successfully served in the basin, in addition to normal water supply, it is also necessary to provide light guarantee, and at the same time do a good job of topdressing. After all, the seedlings grow slowly, and proper nutrient supplement can effectively promote growth and strong seedlings. Next, it is necessary to adjust the plant type by picking and topping to promote germination and branching.

VII. Frame shaping

Nasturtium is a semi-vine flower plant, if not set up in time, its branches will gradually grow entangled. After the stent is built in time, the lateral branches can be kept growing orderly. Of course, it is necessary to do a good job of coring at any time. In this case, to the flowering period, will present a scene of flowers and leaves luxuriant.

VIII. Spend the summer safely

The ability of nasturtium to withstand high temperature is relatively poor, especially in midsummer, because the weather is too hot, often the growth will be delayed, and the number of flowers will be very small, the newly sprouted leaves will also appear whitening phenomenon. Therefore, in order to make it safe in summer, it is usually necessary to move the potted plants to a cool and ventilated place, and at the same time, appropriate water spray can be used to cool down. After a smooth summer, the flowers will gradually return to normal.
