Select female parent

Robust plants should be selected as breeding female parents

During the flowering period, select plants with good color, beautiful flower shape and strong growth as female parent, and place them separately in a place with sufficient sunshine and good ventilation. Strengthen management and control water volume to make the basin soil slightly dry

Assisted pollination

2 ~ 4 days after flowering, gently touch the pedicel to make the pollen fall on the pistil stigma. If cross pollination is adopted, the stamens shall be removed when the flowers are just opening and put on plastic bags for isolation. After 3 days, the pollen of another flowering plant shall be taken for pollination

Early seed collection

The fruit can mature 3 ~ 4 months after pistil fertilization. In order to avoid fruit cracking, the fruit should be harvested with stem before fruit cracking and dried in a dry place for seed collection

Autumn sowing

Cyclamen seeds are usually sown from August to October

Soak in warm water for 3 hours before sowing, take it out and put it in wet sand, and keep the temperature at 25 ℃. About two days after the seeds sprout, they can be sown

Select sandy soil and breeding soil to mix the seedling bed soil, sift it and then put it into a shallow basin for leveling. Pour water through the basin, and then cover the basin with glass sheets to keep the soil moist

Seedlings can emerge in about a month and a half. After emergence, the glass sheet shall be removed gradually to make the seedlings ventilated and transparent. When the seedlings grow one true leaf, transplant them, put them in the pot when there are 3 ~ 5 leaves, and plant 1 ~ 3 plants in a pot with a diameter of 10 cm< span>
