1. Sowing time: Plum blossom sowing is usually selected in spring or autumn, spring sowing time is in February-March, autumn sowing time is in October-November.Its seeds are suitable for germination in warm climate, so in some cold places, you can postpone or advance the sowing time to ensure a good growing environment, or put them in greenhouses.
2. How to hasten germination: In order to ensure the emergence rate of plum blossoms, it is generally necessary to hasten germination before sowing.To accelerate germination, the seeds should be soaked in warm water, the water temperature should be controlled at about 40 C. After soaking for one day, they should be taken out and put into sandy soil, covered with a layer of soil, waiting for germination.Usually, only spring sowing needs germination, but autumn sowing does not.
3. Preparation of potting soil: Suitable soil plays a great role in the growth of plum blossoms. The soil should be loose and fertile, which not only has good drainage to avoid flooding of seeds, but also has certain nutrients to help it grow.It is usually mixed with garden soil, river sand and rotten leaf soil, and a small amount of organic fertilizer is added at the same time.When the potting soil is ready, water it first.
4, sowing: planting the germinated seeds into potting soil.Dig a small pit in the middle of the soil, not too deep, put the seeds in, cover with a layer of potting soil, and spray water properly.In the early stage of growth, appropriate scattered light should be provided to avoid strong light irradiation, so as not to be harmful to the growth of seedlings.Don't water too much and keep the soil slightly moist.
5. Follow-up maintenance: When the plum blossom seedling grows, it needs to be transferred to a place with better lighting, so that it can receive direct light.You can water 1-2 times a week and apply a thin liquid fertilizer, which is easier to absorb and can speed up the growth of seedlings.
If plum blossoms are sown in autumn, they will not germinate until the next spring.The growth rate of this plant is not fast, sowing propagation often takes a long time to see its flowers and fruits, so it is usually propagated by grafting.
