Sowing knowledge of succulent plants, including soil cultivation, germination rate and survival rate of succulent plants

Many succulent flower friends should have their own experience of sowing succulent plants, which is often unsuccessful. There are many factors, such as seeds, substrates, and so on. The following is a summary of some experiences of planting succulent plants, which is of great reference significance.

Summary of sowing experience of succulent plants

Tip: the following is aimed at the novice succulent sowing, Sedum, Euphorbia, Sedum, Sedum, Tetranychus, etc., not applicable to the ball, 12-volume genera and so on.

1. Soil for succulent sowing

The main principle of soil allocation for succulent sowing is to take into account both air permeability and water retention, and the requirement of water retention is much higher than that of adult plants, so in principle, as long as the particles are smaller than adult soil. More common recipes such as:

Peat: vermiculite: 1-3mm particles = 3:1:1

Peat: vermiculite: Rice husk charcoal = 3

In short, more than 60 {bf} peat can not be less, pure peat is also possible, peat recommended Pinnell sowing with 1-3mm, clean, uniform. There is no problem with other imported brands. Domestic peat disinfection is not clean and good.

Be careful with succulent garden soil

Particles, do not like powdered can, to be small, 1-3mm. It is important to pay attention to perlite, if the seedlings grow on perlite can not take root, if the cheap use of perlite, then remember to move the seedlings in time.

I have tried all three recipes (and many others, in fact) and have no significant effect on the germination rate and survival rate.

At the soil level, it is more important to disinfect and sterilize. If you do not properly disinfect, it will be easy to grow bacteria, the seedlings will not grow, there are many kinds of disinfection methods, potassium permanganate solution soaking, carbendazim solution soaking what can, but must be soaked, not just disinfect the surface.

2. Germination rate of succulent seeds.

The most important factor affecting the germination rate is the fullness and freshness of the seeds.

Buy from big manufacturers, kk,kp,rp, do not easily buy online sharing and miscellaneous, most people in China are extremely lack of basic knowledge of succulent hybrids.

In the case of purchasing agents, pick the ones with large shipments and ask him the purchase time to avoid buying old seeds.

It is best to sow it as soon as you buy it, and if you have to wait until the next sowing season, the safest way to keep it is to put it in toilet paper and refrigerate it.
