The stem is erect and tall, and the plant can be up to 2 meters high without pruning, with alternate leaves and heart-shaped leaves. Purple, pink, red, white and other colors, single or double. Hollyhock likes light, is not tolerant to shade, cold-tolerant underground, and does not choose soil, but it is better to have loose and fertile soil, long flowering period, well-developed root system, erect stem, lower Lignification, and longer flowerpots can be selected for family potted plants.

Under normal circumstances, hollyhock can be sowed in spring or autumn. According to the number of hollyhock seeds, can be sowed in the open field seedbed, and then seedling transplanting, can also be open field direct seeding, no longer transplant. Autumn sowing is often used in the south, and it is usually appropriate to sow in the open field seedbed in September and sprout neatly. In the north, spring sowing is often the main method. Of course, the sowing time is not so strict. If friends in Wuhan have flowers, they can also sow seeds now. Can sow seedlings first, grow to a certain size and then transplant into pots, those planted in pots must pay attention to pruning, and those planted on the ground can grow freely.

Sowing soil, generally care about loose and breathable, the requirements are not very strict, hollyhock is a very skinny plant. When sowing, the thickness of the covered soil is about 1 cm. After sowing, keep the soil moisture sufficient, normally sprout for about a week, sow for about three weeks, the seedlings grow tall, about 45 days, can thrive.

Fans who took part in the flower appreciation and barbecue at the East Lake Flower and Tree City at the weekend, in addition to having fun, they also received a bag of hollyhock flowers. Today, the editor will show you how to sow your own seeds at home:

1. Prepare a small flowerpot (both plastic and porcelain. This demonstration takes a 12-centimeter porcelain pot as an example), appropriate amount of nutritious soil, 7-8 hollyhock flowers.

2. Put the soil in the flowerpot to 3/4 places and put the seeds evenly on top of the soil.

3. Press the topsoil slightly with your hands so that the seeds can fully touch the soil.

4. Water slowly along the edge of the basin until it is thoroughly watered, so that the seeds will not be washed out.

If there is water seeping out from the tray, it means that the water has been thoroughly watered.

5. It is best to put a label indicating the sowing date, so as to judge whether the sprouting is normal (for example, it is found that the sowing must have failed if it has not germinated for half a month or even 20 days).

6, sowing good seeds can be put on the balcony, generally according to the weather conditions about 10 days to germinate, during this period to keep the basin soil moist, otherwise the small buds will dry to death.

After the seedlings grow out, there will be a pot-sharing transplant. At that time, the editor will share the pot-sharing transplanting experience with you. Don't worry.

All right, after watching the sowing diagram of hollyhock, everyone will quickly sow their own seeds, and then compare with the editor whose sunflower is better!
