Dandelion seeds are spread by the wind.It usually produces small yellow flowers, which are pollinated by insects to form seeds.When all its golden petals fall off, the receptacle will grow a white pompon, and the seeds will be fully mature.At this time, a gust of wind blows, and its seeds will float to any place with the wind.If it is blown to the right place for it to grow, its seeds will germinate after the next spring and carry out the next cycle of life.
Temperature: Dandelion mature seeds generally do not have a dormant period, as long as the outside temperature reaches about 15 degrees when you can sow.
Gathering seeds: Gather dandelion seeds to harvest when the outer shell of the disk turns yellow-green and the seeds turn brown.
Sowing: Plant dandelion seeds in a pot and cover with a layer of soil about 0.3 to 0.5 cm thick.The soil must be watered before and after sowing. If you sow in May, it is better to cover it with a layer of plastic film. If you sow in July or August, it is not necessary.
Emergence time: If the seeds are collected at the end of May and then sowed immediately, it usually takes only 10 to 20 days for the seedlings to emerge.If it is sown in July and August in summer, it usually takes about 15 days to emerge.
Fertilizer and water management: Dandelion likes loose and fertile soil rich in organic matter, so pay attention to keep the soil moist after sowing, and apply fertilizer once or twice during its growth period.
