How To Grow Butterfly Pea Flower From Seeds
The method of planting butterfly bean flower seeds
Butterfly bean flower has a bright color and has a variety of uses. If you want to raise it with seeds, you need to know the following things.
First, the choice of seeds. When choosing a full, non-destructive and dynamic species. Looking at its color, it should be bright and natural, without mildew or moth moths. In this way, the foundation for the robust growth of seedlings is laid.
The second time is seed treatment. Butterfly bean seeds have thick skin, and in order to promote their germination, they need to be pretreated. You can first soak the seeds in warm water, the water temperature is about 40 to 50 degrees Celsius. When soaking, about 12 to 24 hours, change the water at the right time to keep the water clean. After soaking, the seeds absorb enough water, the seed coat becomes soft, and the germination force increases.
Furthermore, prepare soil for planting. Soil that is fertile, loose and well drained should be selected. You can mix leaf rot soil, garden soil, and river sand in an appropriate proportion, such as two parts of leaf rot soil, two parts of garden soil, and one part of river sand. This mixed soil is not only rich in nutrients, but also conducive to drainage and ventilation, which meets the needs of butterfly bean growth.
Then, sow. In a pot or seedbed, sow the treated seeds. The depth is about twice that of the seeds, and the spacing should be appropriate, about three to five centimeters, to avoid overcrowding. After sowing, cover with a thin layer of soil and press it lightly to make the seeds and soil close.
Watering and moisturizing is also the key. Water well after sowing, but do not water too frequently after that, and keep the soil slightly moist. If it is too wet, it is easy to cause seeds to rot, and if it is too dry, it is not conducive to germination. And place it in an astigmatic and ventilated place to avoid direct light and strong wind.
When the seedlings are unearthed and have about three to four true leaves, they can be transplanted in a timely manner. Choose a spacious pot or a suitable place and transplant with soil to reduce damage to the root system. After transplanting, take care of it, and water and fertilize it moderately according to its growth habits. Butterfly and bean flowers will thrive and bloom.
