How to plant dandelion seeds

Dandelion is a common weed on the roadside in rural fields. fresh plants can be eaten as wild vegetables. after the plants are mature, the seeds grow fluff and spread to various places with the wind, and then the seeds will take root and sprout again. Artificial cultivation must collect mature seeds, and then sow and plant new plants after treatment, so seed collection is also an important work in dandelion seed planting. Now follow me to learn about the planting process of dandelion seeds.

1. Collect seeds

Seeds are initially collected from wild species, and then cultivated seeds can be obtained by artificial cultivation. So in fact, the seeds of wild dandelion can be picked directly in autumn. When the seeds mature and grow into crown-shaped hair balls, collect them quickly before they fly away. After collection, soak and wash off the fluff, then dry them in a cool place, seal them up after drying, and wait for spring sowing.

2. Seedling preparation

Before raising seedlings, we should prepare seedling containers, such as a small number of potted plants can be used directly, raise seedlings in seedling pots, sow a small amount of seeds, and cultivate them directly after they are unearthed. But planting in a large area, buying medicine to prepare seedling trays or seedling bowls made of small plastic bags. The soil for raising seedlings should be prepared, and sand, humus soil, sawdust and pine needles can be used together. To cultivate in the greenhouse, prepare spray cans and sunshade nets.

3. Seed treatment

The seed is relatively small, the seed coat is not thick, and it is easy to germinate, but a large area of seeds can be germinated properly in order to germinate neatly. The seeds must be disinfected before sowing to avoid carrying germs. When the seeds are sowed in spring, the time for accelerating germination is short, soak directly in warm water until the seeds absorb enough water. Spray sterilized seeds with carbendazim solution before the alarm. Finally, you can sow the seeds. Sow 2 to 3 seeds directly in a hole, cover them with soil and water them.

4. Sowing and maintenance

After sowing, wait for sprouting, generally about a week to sprout neatly, before budding should pay attention to watering and moisturizing, and then ensure that budding neatly, pay attention to place in the greenhouse, reduce the light, do not strong light direct, some scattered light can meet the growth. It is necessary to reduce watering after budding, otherwise it may spoil the new buds and see some light to promote the growth of chlorophyll. When growing into seedlings, you can apply some light fertilizer and water to promote the growth of seedlings.

Dandelion seed planting, from seed collection to treatment, sowing, seedling maintenance, is mainly such a process, if you plant a small amount of dandelion, you can live broadcast, there is no big impact. Will also grow well.
