Planting time

For plants, appropriate planting time means comfortable temperature conditions and light conditions. Planting at a reasonable time can give plants a better growth environment and ensure their better growth

Generally, the fruit of Terminalia is ripe from September to October. At this time, its fruit can be harvested, its seeds can be taken out and well preserved, and it can be planted in April of the next year when the flowers bloom in spring

The seeds can be treated by accelerating germination around March to improve the germination rate of seeds

Container planting

You can choose to plant watercress in a large basin or water tank at home. The depth of the container is not required to be 30cm ~ 50cm. The containers used can be disinfected before planting

First put a layer of pond sediment at the bottom of the basin, which does not need to be too thick, so as to fix the root and provide nutrition. Note that the soil used should not be too fat, otherwise it will have a reaction

Sprinkle the seeds gently on the soil surface and pay attention to sowing evenly. The specific amount needs to be determined according to the size of the container used

The thickness of the sand layer should be moderate, and the thickness of the sand layer should not be too thin

Then fill the container with water and fill it with nine minutes. If the amount of water is not enough, the container wall will block the sun, which can not ensure that the young plants can get sufficient light. If the amount of water is too much, it is easy to spill and inconvenient to carry. Second, it may cause the leaves to float outside the container and affect the beauty

Pond planting

To plant watercress in a pond, first drain the water from the pond

Then lay a layer of bottom mud at the bottom of the pond to fix the root. Submerge the seeds into the sediment and then inject water into the pond

The water depth should be about 40cm

About a month or so, floating leaves will grow out

Later management

To take good care of the vegetables, the most important thing is to pay attention to sunlight and moisture

Don't block out the sun. Give it enough light so that it can grow well

As an aquatic plant, it must not be short of water. Usually, you should always replenish water to the container or pond to ensure sufficient water, otherwise it is easy to dry up

In addition, weeds and sundries in the water should be removed in time to ensure a good growth environment
