The seed propagation of safflower lotus

Seed collecting

During the period from October to November, the seed collection work will be carried out, because the fruit will crack after being dried. In order to prevent the seeds from being blown away by the wind, the collection must be timely.

Raising seedlings

It is suggested that sowing should be carried out in January of the next year. Before sowing, soil integration should be carried out, seeds and fine soil should be mixed, evenly sown, then covered with a layer of fine soil, then covered with pine needles and watered. When the seeds germinate and the seedlings grow leaves, the seedlings are transplanted to the nutrient bag for cultivation. During this period, we must pay attention to strengthen the water and fertilizer management to provide nutrients for the growth of seedlings. When the seedlings grow to a certain extent, they can go out for afforestation.
