Sowing time of patchouli

Agastache rugosa, a perennial herb, is named after its pleasant aroma. However, patchouli can be eaten as wild vegetables, but also can be used as medicine, its strong practical value and medicinal effect won many people's pursuit, one after another as a family potted plant for cultivation. However, the planting of patchouli needs to grasp the time, especially the sowing and reproduction, otherwise it will not only affect its growth, but also affect the yield. So, when does Huoxiang sow?

The planting of agastache can be carried out by sowing to breed seedlings, especially as potted plants, we must first obtain healthy potted seedlings. The seeds of patchouli can be sown in spring or autumn. Spring sowing is generally adopted in the north where the temperature is relatively low in spring and autumn, while autumn sowing is generally adopted in the south where the temperature is relatively warm.

I. Spring sowing

The best time for spring sowing is usually from late March to early April. After making the seedbed, open shallow grooves with row spacing of about 25-30 cm, and the groove depth is about 1-1.5 cm. Mix the seeds with sand and sprinkle evenly into the shallow ditch. Cover with soil about 1 cm thick. Note that if the soil is too dry, it needs to be watered thoroughly, and it is also necessary to pay attention to moisturizing water at ordinary times.

II. Autumn sowing

The autumn sowing time of patchouli seeds is generally during September and October in autumn. The original seeds are also arranged after the seedbed is arranged, and the groove of about 30 cm is opened. However, unlike spring sowing, autumn sowing furrows are much deeper, preferably 3.6 cm deep, and relatively large furrows are opened, and the bottom of the furrows should be flat. Then sow again, the latter operation method is the same as spring sowing.

In fact, if you want to plant the seeds of patchouli in a few months, it is not very strict. Spring sowing, February to May period is OK, and autumn sowing in August to October is not impossible, as long as the seed germination, budding conditions, are OK. So, what do we need to prepare during the breeding period of patchouli?

2. Make a good seedling bed with good drainage system, and at the same time require the environment to receive sufficient light.

3. Before sowing, it is necessary to do a good job of seedbed care in advance, such as weeding, watering, fertilization and other processes.

4, pay attention to the depth of seeds buried in the soil when sowing, that is, the depth of soil coverage after sowing, generally keep it at about 2-3 cm, not too shallow, not too deep.
