Sowing conditions of Zaoling jade

Temperature

The best temperature for sowing zaolingyu is 15-25 ℃. When the room temperature drops below 30 ℃, you can start to prepare for sowing

Weather

In order to prevent the algal bell jade seedlings from seeing light after sowing, leading to overgrowth, you can check the weather forecast first and make sure that there will be no cloudy and rainy weather in the last seven days before sowing

Sowing steps of Zaoling jade

Preparation before sowing

Mix peat and small grain deer marsh soil evenly in the proportion of 5:1

The next step is disinfection. Soak the soil filled basin in potassium permanganate solution the night before sowing, and the liquid level should not be higher than the basin surface at the same time, the concentration of potassium permanganate solution should not be too high, and the solution should be dark pink. Too high will kill the beneficial bacteria in the soil

In the morning of the next day, after soaking all night, potassium permanganate solution has soaked the soil. Take out the basin and dry it. At noon, you can sow

Sow

Remember to pour the basin soil thoroughly before sowing, and then proceed to the next step we need to pour the seeds of zaolingyu onto the white paper, fold the white paper horizontally, make the paper trough oblique to the basin, and gently tap the paper trough with a camera to make the seeds slide evenly to the soil surface

Don't rush to cover the soil after sowing, spray it carefully with 1000 times of carbendazim water, and wait until the basin bottom leaks. At the same time, the concentration of carbendazim should not be too high, otherwise it may kill the seedlings when spraying water, you must remember that the water mist should be thin and the action should be light, otherwise, the seeds are likely to be blown out

Finally, cover the planter with plastic wrap and put it in a place with sufficient light

Post sowing management

After sowing, open a small seam of the plastic wrap every day, ventilate for about 2 hours, spray some water and then cover it in order to prevent bacteria from growing due to high humidity, we should spray bactericide every 3 days. Insecticides can be 1000 times Carbendazim and chlorothalonil, which can be sprayed alternately to effectively prevent bacteria from developing drug resistance

Seven days later: the seedlings sprout, and then we have to slowly lift the plastic wrap and give the seedlings enough light. If there is no light, the seedlings will grow in vain

1 and a half months later: seedlings began to molt for the first time. Please remember that algae is most afraid of water accumulation. We must strictly control water at this time, but if the soil is too dry, we can use a small amount of spray to moisten. Span > in addition, one thing to pay attention to at this time is to sprinkle small particles of deer marsh soil evenly around the seedlings, so that on the one hand, some tilted seedlings can be straightened, on the other hand, the root and neck of the seedlings can be protected from sunburn

Two months later: the lovely "little rabbit" slowly disappears, and we will see that the shape of Zaoling jade is gradually approaching the heart shape

Four months later: zaolingyu shed its skin for the second time. Unlike the first time, the old leaves shed this time not only did not wither, but also grew stronger and stronger< After 10 days, you will experience a third molt, and then a fourth molt in less than a week there is one thing in common in these molts, that is, the old leaves do not wither, but continue to grow vigorously. So remember to prepare a big basin at the beginning

Five months later: if you didn't prepare a big pot at the beginning, now, in order to grow healthily, you can transplant them into a bigger pot to make them grow more vigorously
