1、 Can I plant it with seeds

Houttuynia cordata can be sown and propagated with seeds, but the germination rate is not high, only about 20%. Therefore, this method is generally not used for propagation at ordinary times, and most of them are propagated and cultivated by branching and cutting. Seeds can be used for reproduction, which can be selected from March to April in spring. The surrounding temperature is required to be kept within the range of 17-25 ℃. If the temperature is inappropriate, it is not suitable for germination if it is too high or too low

2、 Sowing method

1. Preparation of soil: before sowing and planting, the soil needs to be prepared first. The appropriate soil can promote the germination of seeds. Loose and breathable sandy soil can be selected to ensure sufficient drainage. After preparation, first disinfect and kill the bacteria and insect eggs inside

2. Selection of seeds: seeds are the key factor to determine whether they survive or not. It is necessary to select healthy seeds, which are full and free of diseases and pests

3. Sowing: because the germination rate of seeds is not high, more seeds can be sown to avoid that the sown seeds do not germinate and survive. After sowing the seeds, cover them with a thin layer of soil to ensure that they can cover the seeds, and then water them again to keep the soil moist

3、 How to get seeds

If you already have Houttuynia plants, you can directly take seeds from the plants. If you don't have them, you can buy seeds and sow them
