1、 Planting time

The planting time of Pennisetum is generally in spring, usually from March to May. The climate at this time is relatively warm, which is very suitable for seed rooting and seedling growth. If it is in summer, high temperature and light can easily lead to sunburn, so it should not be carried out. Autumn planting has to face the problem of overwintering, and the growth of seedlings is easy to be affected

2、 Seed soaking and germination

Seed soaking and germination should be carried out before planting Pennisetum, which can greatly improve the seedling emergence rate. Put the seeds into the container and pour an appropriate amount of water to cover them. If the temperature is not high, wrap them with plastic wrap for insulation. Often change the water and put it in a cool and ventilated place. Generally, it can germinate after a few days

3、 Soil preparation

Loose and fertile soil is often used for planting Pennisetum. Although the plant does not have strict requirements for soil, good permeability is very helpful for root respiration and can also prevent ponding. It is generally prepared by mixing 5 parts of rotten leaf soil, 2 parts of garden soil and 2 parts of river mud, which can also provide nutrients for plants, and the slightly acidic environment is also conducive to development

4、 Sowing and curing

After the pot soil is prepared, it can be planted. Sprinkle the seeds of Pennisetum on the soil surface, cover it with a layer of fine soil, and water it properly to keep it moist. After sowing, it should be placed in the semi shade to avoid light. At the same time, it should ensure good ventilation. After germination, the light can be increased appropriately. In addition, it should be fertilized appropriately
