Strawberry seed germination is one of the important aspects of strawberry planting, and it is also a headache for many gardening enthusiasts. The following will introduce a simple and easy method of strawberry seed germination - water immersion germination.
1. Prepare the seeds.
Choose healthy, disease-free strawberry fruits and remove ripe strawberry seeds from them. Be careful to select fruits with obvious flesh and avoid using fruits with pests and diseases.
2. Screening and cleaning.
The collected strawberry seeds were screened to remove impurities and bad seeds. Rinse the screened seeds with clean water to remove residues and pulp from the surface.
3. Soaking and germination.
Soak the cleaned strawberry seeds in clean water, which usually takes 24-48 hours. During the soaking process, stirring is done at regular intervals to encourage the seeds to absorb water. At the same time, pay attention to changing the clean water to keep the water clean.
Fourth, sand and soil mixed germination.
Remove the soaked strawberry seeds, rinse them with clean water, and mix them well with moistened sandy soil. The ratio of sandy soil can be prepared in a ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 to facilitate the rooting and germination of strawberry seeds.
5. Germination management.
Put the mixed sandy strawberry seeds into a pot or seedling tray and place them in a warm, moist and well-ventilated place for germination. Keep the soil moist, but also take care to avoid over-wetting. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to heat preservation, and keep it in the environment of 20-25 for the best germination effect.
6. Transplantation and maintenance.
After a period of germination, the strawberry seeds will gradually germinate and grow seedlings. When the seedlings have grown 2-3 true leaves, they can be transplanted and maintained. Transplant the seedlings into nutrient soil or loose soil, taking care to protect the root system and avoid harming the seedlings. For the first few weeks after transplanting, keep the soil moist and out of direct sunlight. As the seedlings grow, the amount of light and fertilizer can be gradually increased to promote their strong growth.
In conclusion, the water immersion germination method is a simple and easy method for strawberry seed germination. Through the steps of seed screening, soaking and germination, and sandy soil mixed germination, the germination rate of strawberry seeds can be effectively improved, and gardening enthusiasts can successfully complete strawberry planting.
