1. Transmission mode of dandelion seeds

Dandelion seeds are spread by wind. It usually produces small yellow flowers and forms seeds by insect pollination. When all its golden petals fall off, white POMS will grow on the receptacle, and the seeds will be fully mature. At this time, when a gust of wind blows, its seeds will float to any place with the wind. If the seed is blown to the place suitable for the next spring, it will germinate again

2. Sowing method of dandelion seeds

Temperature: the mature seeds of dandelion generally have no dormancy period. They can be sown as long as the external temperature reaches about 15 degrees

Collect seeds: collect dandelion seeds, which can be harvested when the shell of its flower disc turns yellow green and the seeds turn brown

Sowing: plant the seeds of dandelion in a basin, and then cover it with a layer of soil about 0.3 to 0.5 cm thick. Water must be used to wet the soil before and after sowing. If sowing is carried out in May, it is best to cover another layer of plastic film, but it is not necessary if sowing is carried out in July and August

Emergence time: if seeds are collected at the end of May and sown immediately, it usually takes only 10 to 20 days to emerge. If it is sown in July and August in summer, it usually takes about 15 days to emerge

Fertilizer and water management: Dandelion likes loose and fertile soil rich in organic matter, so pay attention to keep the soil moist after sowing, and apply fertilizer once or twice during its growth period
