How to plant seeds of Dichondra repens

Dichondra repens has the characteristics of strong viability, long life, resistance to shade and dampness, beautiful plant type and so on, so it is a very excellent green plant. It can not only be used for landscaping as a land plant, but also as a potted plant to decorate and beautify the environment. And the reproduction of Dichondra repens is also very simple, and potted seedlings can be obtained by direct sowing. So, how to grow Dichondra seeds?

Dichondra can be sown in spring or autumn. Spring sowing usually takes place from April to May and autumn sowing usually takes place from September to October. Whether it is spring sowing or autumn sowing, it is very suitable for seed germination as long as the temperature in the soil environment is kept at about 21 ℃. And Dichondra can be sown either naked or coated, but the germination rate of the former is higher than that of the latter, after all, the seeds of the latter will more or less affect sprouting after a layer of coating.

However, no matter which sowing method is adopted, in order to improve the budding rate and the uniformity of budding, it is generally necessary to soak the seeds before sowing, so that the seeds will fully absorb water and expand and then sow, the seedling emergence effect will be better. But it is best to soak the seeds in hot water of 60 ℃, which can break the dormancy of the seeds, make them wake up and be full of vitality, so as to achieve the purpose of accelerating germination and improve the germination rate of seeds.

Next, the soaked seeds are sowed or sowed on the nursery bed, and then the original is covered with a layer of culture soil 1-2 cm thick, and finally covered with a non-woven fabric or straw curtain. This can play the role of heat preservation and moisturizing, so that the emergence of seedlings more neatly, thus to a large extent improve the budding rate and emergence rate. In the meantime, we need to do a good job of heat preservation and moisturizing measures in time to ensure that the seeds can sprout smoothly.

After the seeds of Dichondra repens emerge, they can usually be transplanted and planted in pots when a few leaves are unfolded. After 2-3 weeks of transplanting and planting in the pot, we can take the way of extra-root topdressing to supplement nutrients to ensure that the plant can maintain exuberant growth and make the potted Dichondra rapid prototyping. At that time, we can also wait for the opportunity to prune branches and leaves to promote the germination of new branches and leaves, and at the same time make the plant shape of potted plants more beautiful and more suitable for viewing.

During the maintenance and management period, in addition to water and fertilizer, pruning and other work, we also need to do a good job of weeding in the basin in time to avoid weakening plant growth due to weeds competing for nutrients of Dichondra repens. At the same time, we also need to do a good job in the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests. Although the disease resistance of Dichondra is relatively strong, the hot and humid climate from July to August every year is the high incidence period of diseases and insect pests. We can keep spraying the potted plants with carbendazim, chlorothalonil and other germicidal disinfectants once a week. For pest control, corresponding drugs should also be selected for spraying.
