It is necessary to know the best planting time of Paeonia lactiflora, and the suitable climate is conducive to its germination.Generally speaking, the seeds harvested in the same year can be sown in late August or late September.If the seeds are planted too late, the germination rate of the following spring will be reduced.
Seed treatment: Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours before sowing, and screen out any seeds that are not full.Then the retained seeds are well preserved, and the germination rate of the treated seeds will be increased to more than 80%.
Sowing: Fill the selected flowerpot with soil rich in humus, and then bury the seeds in the soil. The spacing between each seed should be three centimeters. Do not plant too closely, which will affect the germination rate.Then it is covered with a layer of wet soil two centimeters deep.After that, pay attention to maintaining soil moisture and wait for it to germinate slowly.
Paeonia lactiflora seed germination is relatively slow, generally spring sowing, autumn will germinate roots, until the next spring will germinate.It has a long growth cycle, slow development, and the fastest time to flower is four to five years.
