Seed collection

To plant beautiful purple flowers, choosing seeds is the key. Seeds with defects may not only grow slowly, but also develop into abnormal plants, affecting the ornamental of potted plants

If you want to get high-quality seeds, you should collect them in time and save them reasonably

Zijiao flower blooms in summer. In autumn, its capsule is mature and can start seed collection. When the capsule splits, pick it and take out the seeds

If it is sown indoors, it can be sown at any time when the temperature is guaranteed. Otherwise, it is best to store the seeds until the beginning of the next spring

The storage method can be sand storage method. First, the seeds are preliminarily screened to remove the deformed or damaged seeds. After that, it is submerged in wet sand and stored at a temperature of about 5 ℃

Selection of soil

On the relatively fertile planting soil, Zijiao flower can grow more vigorously, which requires us to choose the planting soil with sufficient fertility and high nutrients as much as possible

In addition, it is more afraid of waterlogging. When selecting soil, it should choose planting soil that will not accumulate water. If water is accumulated in the soil, it is likely to cause the root and bulb of zijiaohua plant to rot, resulting in poor plant growth and development

Planting method

First, pour the prepared planting soil into the flower pot. At this time, be careful not to pour too full. The height of planting soil can reach 85% of the height of flower pot

Then prepare a large basin and pour in clean water. Immerse the bottom of the flowerpot in water. Let the clear water penetrate into the planting soil slowly through the drainage hole at the bottom of the flowerpot. Pay attention to the soil surface. After it changes color, take out the flowerpot in time. Do not pour too much water, otherwise it will affect the normal germination of seeds

After that, the seeds are evenly sown on the planting soil surface, and then covered with a thin layer of soil

Then put the flowerpot in a relatively dark room and water it in time. It won't take long for it to germinate
