Seed acquisition

First, select the plump and mellow mature fruit and put it in a cool place to wait for it to dry naturally

Then put the fruit into a strong bag, add some small stones, rub hard, and crush the peel

Then pick out the stones, wash off the peel and pulp with clean water, and leave seeds

Put the seeds into the disinfectant for sterilization, and then remove the water and rinse it

Because the seed coat of juniper is very hard, it is difficult to absorb water and expand, and it is usually in dormancy. Therefore, it is necessary to soak the seed in hot water at 80 ℃ for 3 days to break its dormancy

Then soak the seeds in 40 ℃ water for a week, take them out, mix them into the sand, and promote germination by low-temperature stratification

When the temperature rises around March next year, the seeds can be moved outdoors and sown when they sprout naturally

Selection of soil

Juniper likes fertilizer. Choosing planting soil with high fertility can play a better role in cultivation

In addition, because the germination process of seeds requires the participation of oxygen, choosing a relatively loose and breathable planting soil can effectively increase the germination rate of seeds

Planting method

First, the planting soil to be used for planting shall be exposed to the sun for disinfection

Then put the planting soil into the flowerpot, level it and start sowing. The seed spacing is about 15cm. After sowing, the seeds shall be fully covered with planting soil, and no seeds shall be exposed to the air. The planting soil covered can be 2cm thick, not too thick or too thin

After covering the planting soil, it is also necessary to wet the planting soil with a sprinkler. Pay attention to watering slowly, not too fast, so as not to float the seeds. Do not water too much, otherwise the water will submerge the seed and affect its normal budding

Transplanting method

The seeds should be watered in time after being buried, and they can germinate after 2 ~ 3 weeks. After one year of careful care, the seeds can grow to several centimeters high before transplanting

Before transplanting, the new planting land needs to be leveled before digging out tree pits

Pull out the young plants with roots and soil and plant them in new tree pits. Tread the soil firmly without leaving gaps

It needs to be watered immediately after planting, and it needs to be watered thoroughly

If necessary, a bracket should also be set up to prevent it from growing and skewing
