Vanilla, also known as lilac, Danchun and other names, is a plant mainly distributed in the northwest of China. It is mainly distributed in Gansu, Xinjiang and other regions of China. So how does vanilla reproduce?

Seed propagation of vanilla

Collect seeds

The seeds of vanilla are not so easy to collect, and the fruits of vanilla are easy to fall off after ripening. Therefore, in August, when the fruits of vanilla are ripening, we must pay attention to collecting the seeds. After the seeds are collected, they should be soaked, some impurities or pulp should be washed away, and then they should be ventilated and dried, and then some impurities can be removed again with tools, and then the fragrance can be removed. The seeds of pods are stored for sowing.

Soil treatment

Before sowing and propagating, loosen the pot soil, remove the weeds, and put the best base fertilizer, so that the plants can grow healthily.

Planting work

Autumn is a good time to plant vanilla trees. After sowing, water them thoroughly. In order to make vanilla trees grow better, we need to apply fertilizer in time. In the early spring of the next year, we need to apply fertilizer for the first time, the second time before flowering, and the third time after flowering. When applying fertilizer, we need to pay attention not to apply too much fertilizer, which will cause the phenomenon of burning seedlings and growing. In the long run, we should also pay attention to the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, and timely use of drugs to deal with diseases and insect pests.
