It is recommended that the bulbs of Crocus sativus should be planted from late September to early October.Because this time has just passed the high temperature period of summer, the weather is cooler, and the planted bulbs are easier to germinate.Try not to plant its bulbs in summer or winter, because the bad weather conditions will affect the germination rate.
1. Preparation of seed bulbs: First prepare some relatively round, moderate size, smooth skin of saffron seed bulbs as planting materials.If there are old skins or roots on the outside of the bulbs, they need to be stripped and pruned off.Then, put them into the disinfectant solution for about 30 minutes to sterilize.Then take them out of the disinfectant and put them in the air to dry.
2. Preparation of potting soil: When planting crocus bulbs, it is necessary to use soil with certain nutrients and good permeability.After preparing the soil, they should be exposed to the sun for about a day to disinfect it.
3. Planting: Put the sun-dried soil into a flowerpot with good air permeability, and then plant the air-dried seed ball with the tip upward into the soil.And that plan depth is controlled between 4 and 8cm.
4. Late maintenance: Move the planted seed ball to a ventilated, warm and semi-shady place, and water it in time to keep its soil slightly wet.Soon they will be able to sprout.
