1、 Seed collection time

1. The fruit bearing period of tiger tongue red is very long, and there are fruits basically all year round, so the acquisition of high-quality seeds is also more convenient. If you don't use the purchased seeds when sowing, you can pick the seeds yourself. The time is about the middle of autumn and October. Taking fully mature seeds at this time can not only obtain seeds with high germination rate, but also reduce the burden of the mother, which is conducive to the mother to store nutrition and prepare for overwintering

2. It can also be picked in the early summer of the second year, April and may, which can speed up the growth rate of the mother

2、 Preliminary treatment

1. The adopted seeds can be sown directly, or the seeds can be promoted, and then planted after the seeds have buds, so as to improve the emergence rate. Select fine sand, soak it, hold the sand with your hand, and the degree of wetting can reach the degree that you can loose your hand and scatter it. Then store it indoors according to the proportion of one seed and three wet sand. When storing, spread it out, don't pave it all, just keep it three or four centimeters thick. It should be stored in a cool and ventilated place. At the same time, it should prevent rats from eating. It is best to turn over the soil and spray water frequently, and keep the humidity consistent. At this time, it will be found that seeds germinate one after another. Generally, seeds can be sown when the germination is more than 0.3cm

2. Another method: put the harvested seeds in a cool and ventilated place for three days, which can promote the further development and maturity of the seeds. Take back the seeds, wash off the pulp and peel with clean water, and preserve them according to the proportion of seed sand in the previous method

3、 Sowing method

1. Select a relatively fertile land containing mixed base fertilizer, which can also be modified with pastoral soil. Turn the soil to make the soil thinner without impurities and stones, and trim it into a seedbed. The height of the seedbed is about 12 cm and the width is about 1 meter

2. Plant the seeds and cover them with 0.2 cm wood chips. The distance between the seeds should not be too close, with an interval of 5 cm. Press gently with a board

3. Use a watering can for water supply, keep the temperature between 12 and 30 degrees, and the seedlings will grow leaves in about a month
