Generally, the seeds of Lycium barbarum are sold in the market. The seeds are taken from the large fruit seeds, which can guarantee the quality of the planted fruits. Therefore, attention should be paid to the selection of varieties. If you want to choose your own seed, you can choose the following methods:
This step is only applicable to the seed selection of dry fruits. The soaking time is not fixed. Observe the extent of swelling of the skin of the dried fruits, which can be broken as soon as it is touched. If you use fresh fruit to get seeds, you can skip this step directly.
Rub the soaked fruit or fresh fruit with your hands and separate the pulp to get the seeds.
After rubbing, there are many impurities. Wash the seeds with clear water, remove the useless things like pulp, put a basin of clear water again, and leave it still. What floats up is the seeds that are not full. Pour them together with the water. The seeds that sink in the bottom of the water can be used for sowing.
Place the cleaned seeds on a clean cloth, place them in a cool and dry place, wait for the seeds to dry completely.
Considering the temperature and other factors, spring and summer and autumn can be sown, but in order to avoid the risk of winter and extend the growth period, most people will choose to sow in spring.
1. In order to improve germination rate and reduce waiting time, the seeds can be stored in sand before sowing. Sift the sand and leave the fine sand. Mix the seeds with the fine sand according to the ratio of 1:10. Cover the sand with a plastic film and place it indoors at a temperature of about 20 ℃. Spray once or twice a day. When more than 50% of the seeds are budding, they can be seeded
2. Dig out the planting ditch on the planting ground, sow the seeds, press the seeds gently with your feet, and make them buried in the soil, or cover the soil for about three or four millimeters after sowing. Sow the water on the pit, the water level should not be too high, shallow without seeds.
3. In the later stage of watering, it depends on the degree of soil drying, and the surface of soil can be dry before water supply. Under the condition of temperature and humidity, buds will sprout about one week.
