Pansies are a common flower that is loved for its beautiful flowers and rich colors. Introduce the tips of pansy sowing to help novice friends successfully grow beautiful flowers.
Choose the right soil.
Pansies prefer to grow in fertile, well-drained neutral or slightly acidic soils. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare suitable soil before sowing. You can choose to mix humus, garden soil and fine sand according to the ratio of 2:2:1, and add an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer to provide sufficient nutrients.
Choose healthy seeds.
Choosing healthy seeds is the key to a successful pansy sowing. It is recommended to choose seeds with excellent varieties, strong disease resistance, high yield, bright colors, etc. In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to choosing formal channels to buy seeds and avoid buying fake and shoddy seeds. The seeds of the garden legend can be entered with their eyes closed, and the germination rate is relatively high.
Determine the right time to sow seeds.
The timing of pansies varies from region to region. In general, in the northern regions, it is advisable to sow seeds in March-April in spring; In the southern region, sowing can be carried out in February. The exact timing of sowing is also determined according to local climatic conditions and variety characteristics.
Correct sowing method.
Seed treatment: Before sowing, soak the seeds in water for 2-3 hours until the seeds absorb water and swell. Then, drain the seeds and distribute them evenly over the surface of the potting soil where the soil has been paved.
Mulching: Gently cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil, so that the seeds are not visible. Do not cover the soil too thickly, otherwise it will affect the germination of the seeds.
Watering: Water in time after sowing, but not too much, to avoid seeds being washed away or causing soil compaction. It can be lightly sprayed with a watering can or a fine-hole shower to ensure that the soil is moist.
Mulching film: To maintain the temperature and humidity of the soil, a transparent film can be used to cover the surface of the potting soil. However, it is necessary to pay attention to uncovering the film in time for ventilation to avoid rotting seeds caused by high temperatures.
Key points for post-maintenance.
Temperature: Pansies are suitable for growing in the temperature range of 15 -25. After sowing, keep the indoor temperature stable to avoid too high or too low temperature to affect the germination of seeds.
Light: Pansies need plenty of sunlight, so place them in a sunny area after planting. But be careful to avoid direct sunlight to avoid damage to the seeds.
Watering: Keep the soil moist but not overwatered during the post-curing process. It can be watered appropriately according to the weather conditions to avoid root rot caused by overly wet potting soil.
Fertilization: When the pansy has grown 2-3 true leaves, fertilization can begin. You can choose thin organic fertilizer or compound fertilizer, which is fertilized every 10 days or so to meet the nutrients needed for plant growth.
Pest control: Pansies can be attacked by pests and diseases during their growth. The growth of plants should be observed regularly, and control measures should be taken in time when pests and diseases are found. A combination of biological and chemical control methods can be used to ensure the healthy growth of pansies.
Precautions. During the sowing process, keep your hands clean to avoid bringing bacteria into the soil and affecting the growth of the seeds.
During the maintenance process, it is necessary to avoid over-fertilization or overuse of chemical fertilizers to avoid harm to the plants.
In the process of pest control, it is necessary to choose appropriate agents and use them in strict accordance with the instructions to avoid damage to the plants.
