Put the seeds in 40 ℃ warm water for 10 hours to speed up germination, prepare a shallow wooden box or basin, put the rotten leaf soil and screened fine sand in, mix the seeds and fine sand after sterilization, and the surface covering soil does not need to be too thick. After the seeds are planted, the water is replenished by soaking basin method. The wooden box is covered with a layer of plastic film or glass, and placed in a cool and ventilated environment. The temperature is kept at about 20 degrees, and the seedlings can emerge in about a week.

I. sowing time

There is no fixed sowing time for this kind of plants. Generally, it takes about eight months for them to bloom. You can backtrack the sowing time according to the time you want to watch. The Spring Festival is coming. If you want it to bloom in the Spring Festival, you can push it to the early and late June. Of course, according to different varieties of flowering time is not the same, like that hybrid dwarf varieties, four months can bloom, the time is relatively short

II. Operation steps

1. Handling

In order to improve the germination probability of seeds, before planting, soak them in warm water for about 10 hours. The water temperature should not be too high, about 40 ℃. The seeds treated in this way can sprout three or four days in advance.

2. Sowing

Prepare a shallow wooden box or basin, put in the rotten leaf soil and the screened fine sand, and the above substrate can be used only after sterilization. Mix the seeds with fine sand and plant them. It doesn't need to be too thick to cover the surface with soil.

3. Water supply

After planting seeds, prepare a basin larger than the sowing container, fill it with water, and put the sowing container in it. Water will be soaked into the soil along the drain of the wooden box or basin to achieve the effect of water supply.

4. Film covering

The wooden box is covered with a layer of plastic film or glass, and placed in a cool and ventilated environment. The temperature is kept at about 20 degrees, and the seedlings can emerge in about a week.

Third, post management

1. Soil

After small seedlings come out and grow stably, they can be transplanted. The transplanted soil is loose and has good drainage performance. In addition to using special nutrient soil, you can also mix garden soil, saprophytic soil and river sand, and add appropriate base fertilizer to improve fertility.

2. Temperature

Guayeju like warm and moist, but the temperature should not be too high. Keep it at about 18 ℃. Too high temperature affects flower bud, too low temperature will stop growth or frostbite death.

3. Moisture

The basin soil needs to be kept wet, and the water demand is relatively large. In dry weather, spray water on the leaves. If flower bud is formed, it is necessary to supply less water and promote flowering.
