1、 Sowing method

1. Sowing time: plum blossom is usually sown in spring or autumn. The spring sowing time is from February to March, and the autumn sowing has to wait until October to November. Its seeds are suitable for germination in a warm climate, so in some cold places, the sowing time can be postponed or advanced to ensure a good growth environment, or sown in a greenhouse

2. How to promote germination: in order to ensure the emergence rate of plum blossom, it is generally necessary to promote germination before sowing. To promote germination, soak the seed in warm water, control the water temperature at about 40 ℃, take it out after soaking for one day, and put it in sandy soil, cover the surface with a layer of soil and wait for it to germinate. Under normal circumstances, only spring sowing needs germination, and autumn sowing does not

3. Pot soil preparation: suitable soil plays a great role in the growth of plum blossom. The soil should be loose and fertile, which not only has good drainage and avoids flooding of seeds, but also has certain nutrients to help it grow. Generally, garden soil, river sand and rotten leaf soil are mixed, and a small amount of organic fertilizer is added at the same time. After preparing the basin soil, water it first

4. Sowing: plant the germinated seeds into the pot soil. Dig a small pit in the middle of the soil without too deep. After putting the seeds in, cover a layer of basin soil and spray water appropriately. In the early stage of growth, appropriate scattered light should be provided to avoid strong light irradiation, so as not to be detrimental to the growth of seedlings. Don't water too much to keep the soil slightly moist

5. Follow up maintenance: when the plum blossom seedling grows, it needs to be transferred to a place with better daylighting and let it receive direct light. You can water 1-2 times a week and apply a little thin liquid fertilizer, which is easier to absorb and can speed up the growth of seedlings

2、 How long does it germinate

If plum blossoms are sown in autumn, they can not germinate until the spring of the next year. The growth rate of this plant is not fast. It often takes a long time to see its flowers and fruits when sowing and breeding, so it is usually propagated by grafting
