Know the skills of plants how to harvest the seeds of the four seasons plum

Four seasons plum is a relatively cultivated flower plant, because it belongs to the grass family, so it will give birth to seeds when it blossoms. Moreover, as long as the conditions are suitable, the mature seeds will be randomly scattered on the culture soil in the flowerpot in early spring, and then covered with some soil and poured with some water can germinate. When the seedlings grow to a height of about 2-3 cm, we can transplant them.

But to sow seeds, we first harvest the mature seeds of the four seasons plum. However, many people only see the beauty of the four seasons plum in bloom, but do not know what its seeds look like. What are the seeds of four Seasons Plum? In fact, the seeds of the four seasons plum are hidden inside the pods, and the pods look like pods, but they are much smaller than pods and can be reduced versions of pods. Peel off the pod, and the dark, rice-sized thing inside is the ripe four-season plum seed. As shown in the following figure:

It is worth noting that the seeds of the four seasons plum are obtained from the seed pods, and when the color of the seed pods changes from cyan to black, it shows that the four seasons plum seeds in the seed pods have matured and can be harvested at the right time. So, how do the four seasons plum harvest seeds?

To harvest the seeds of the four seasons plum, we have to cut off the pods before we can get the seeds. The harvest of seed pods is best carried out after all the buds of the four seasons plum have bloomed, and when the flowers fade, the seeds in the seed pods are fully mature and the survival rate of sowing in the coming year is high.

First of all, we need to prepare sharp scissors, then use scissors to cut off the mature black pods gently but neatly, and then stack them together. But it is difficult to peel off the shell of the harvested pods. Instead, the harvested pods need to be dried in the sun until the seeds are completely dried before they can be easily removed from the pods.

Finally, after drying the peeled clean seeds, they can be stored. When the season is right, we will take these seeds out and sow them to breed the young plants.
