Sowing preparation of duck foot wood

Generally, after January, you can harvest the spherical fruit of duck foot wood, remove the peel and pulp, rub it with fine sand, and then wash it with water to get clean and full seeds, which can be sown at will, or stored in sand to promote germination. It is necessary to wait until the crack of seeds is exposed

Sowing method of duck foot wood

Sow in pots with humus or sand. First prepare the matrix mixed with 2 parts of rotten leaves and 1 part of soil, put it in a basin and flatten it by 2 / 3, and the soil covering depth is about 1 ~ 2 times of the seed diameter. Then sow the seeds evenly into the basin and cover them with fine soil until the seeds are invisible. Then prepare a container containing water and put it into the sowing basin to let the water slowly penetrate into the basin from its bottom hole until the soil surface is slightly wet. Then, do a good job to keep the basin soil moist. The growth temperature should be controlled at about 20-25 ℃, so it takes about 15-20 days to wait, and then the seedlings can emerge gradually. The seedling height is 5-10 cm, and then transplanted

After sand storage and germination, sowing can be excavated in about a week at a suitable temperature. It grows well. After one year of bed cultivation, transplant or directly put it into the pot

Management of duck foot wood after sowing

Gooseberry likes a semi shady growth environment. After emergence, it should put up a shed in time or use a shading net to do a good job of shading. It can be fully illuminated in autumn and covered with plastic film in winter to prevent cold and keep warm. It can survive the winter safely by maintaining the ambient temperature above 5 ℃

We should often spray water on the leaf surface, keep the basin soil moist, and apply fertilizer appropriatelyIt should be noted that in the high-temperature season, the seedlings need full shading within one week after transplanting, half shading in the next 8-15 days, full exposure at night, 20% shading in 16-20 days, and then they can enter the normal maintenance and management.
