Put the seeds in a basin before sowing, then add warm water of 35 mi 40 degrees, gently stir so that all seeds are soaked in water, 2 or 3 hours later. Next, take out the seeds, spread them evenly on the newspaper, and dry them for 2 hours before they can be sown.

The breeding of echinacea seedlings is generally carried out by sowing. When sowing, we first put some fine soil in the basin, and then mix the seeds with the fine soil by hand. Next, spread the seeds evenly in the border, then cover them with a rake, and water them thoroughly for the last time. Pay attention to flooding with small water to avoid alluvial seeds together, the emergence of uneven phenomenon. About 10 days after watering, the seedlings will break out of the ground, and after 15 days, the seedlings will all come out.

Echinacea is a kind of hardy plant, which can grow well in many parts of our country and adapt to the cold climate. But if you want echinacea to grow well and bloom brightly, you should put it in a warm and sunny place. Usually pay attention to maintain the temperature, the winter temperature is low, we should take measures in advance and put it in a warmer place indoors in time. Do not put it in strong light, or it will burn the plant.

Echinacea needs the most water during its growing period, but even then, it only takes about two weeks to water it. In the seedling stage, flowering stage to reduce watering, the specific degree of watering to the soil humidity, only need to keep dry.

Watering should also be controlled in winter. The winter climate is cold. Although we have said that echinacea is cold-resistant, we need to water the plant once in winter. After watering, we put a plastic bag on the plant and put it indoors. This can not only keep the temperature constant but also lock in the water.

4. Pruning in time

If we handle it properly, echinacea can bloom three times a year. Every time after blooming, it is necessary to prune the withered flowers in time, because these flowers will be a waste of nutrients, if not pruned in time will affect the next flowering.
