Sowing method of dancing grass

Dancing grass, a grass-like non-grass plant, usually grows to a height of about 60 centimeters. When the potted seedlings grow to more than 25 centimeters and three leaves are pulled out from the petiole, they can often be appreciated. Because it is sensitive to light, temperature and sound waves, it tends to wobble, such as dancing.

As the dancing grass jumps very miraculously, so many potted friends like potted plants to grow this strange plant for viewing. On the other hand, dancing grass can breed young plants by sowing, and when the young plants grow to a certain height, they can be planted in pots as potted plants. So, how to sow the dancing grass? Next, the editor will share with you the sowing method of dancing grass.

I. seed treatment

Because the seeds of dancing grass are relatively hard, and the outer layer is covered with waxy substances. If the seeds are sown directly without treatment, it usually takes months for them to germinate. Therefore, in order to improve the budding rate and shorten the budding time, it is usually necessary to soak seeds in warm water.

First scrub the wax from the outer layer of the seed with dry sand, then soak it in warm water of 38 ℃ for more than a day. When the seed is fully absorbed and swollen, it is fished out, wrapped in gauze and placed in a warm and humid place to dry the excess water and then sow and reproduce.

2. Sowing process

The sowing of dancing grass can be carried out in all seasons of the year, as long as the temperature conditions are satisfied, the optimum temperature for original seed germination is between 20 ℃ and 28 ℃. But generally sowing from March to June, the budding rate is the highest. After preparing the flowerpot and the culture soil, sow the seeds on the culture soil, then cover it with a layer of fine soil 2-3 cm thick and spray the soil with water, and finally place the flowerpot in a dark and ventilated place for maintenance.

In order to create conditions suitable for seed germination, cover the pot mouth with a glass plate or plastic film to reduce excessive evaporation, and pay attention to opening the mulch every day to allow 15-20 minutes of air exchange inside and outside the basin. If it goes well, it will sprout smoothly after a week.

III. Seedling stage management

When the seed breaks its shell, sprouts and pulls out a pair of more symmetrical leaves, we should remove the glass plate or plastic film covering the mouth of the flowerpot in time, and then move the flowerpot to a sunny place that can receive scattered light to avoid direct sunlight. At the same time, proper control of water replenishment, so as not to basin soil too wet and affect the growth of seedlings. After the seedlings grow to a height of 3-5 cm, they can be divided into pots and transplants.

IV. Planting in pots

Select the seedlings with relatively strong growth from the original pot and transplant them to different flowerpots, generally transplanting with soil, which is more conducive to taking the pot and restoring normal growth. If you choose a larger flowerpot, you can plant 2-3 seedlings in one pot. After completing the planting in the pot, the soil around the potted seedlings was gently compacted, then watered once, and then the flowerpot was placed in a cool and ventilated place to slow the seedlings. After Xiaomiao takes the basin completely, the normal maintenance and management can be restored.
