Method for cultivating family sweet potato seedlings
How to cultivate domestic sweet potato seedlings 1 and choose flowerpots.
Sweet potatoes are intolerant of stagnant water. When cultivating sweet potato seedlings at home, it is necessary to provide flowerpots with drainage holes at the bottom. You can choose porous pottery pots or pottery pots, lay a layer of broken tiles or ceramsite on the bottom of the flowerpot, and then sterilize at high temperature to reduce the chance of sweet potato infection.
2. Soil conditions
Sweet potato is suitable for growing in fertile and breathable soil. When cultivating sweet potatoes at home, we should use mixed cultivation soil of sandy soil, humus soil and garden soil, and apply decomposed cake fertilizer or plant ash in the soil to make the soil more fertile and provide nutrients for the growth of sweet potatoes.
3. Germination accelerating treatment
When planting sweet potatoes, we should choose healthy and pest-free tubers as seed potatoes, and then put the seed potatoes in an environment with a temperature of about 25 degrees and spray water on them every day. After a while, the sweet potato will sprout. At this time, the sweet potato should be cut into small pieces with a knife, and each piece should have 1-2 buds.
4. Cultivation methods
When cultivating sweet potatoes at home, it is necessary to bury the germinated sweet potatoes evenly in the soil and then water them once, so that sweet potatoes can absorb nutrients more easily. Moreover, the sweet potato should be placed in a bright place and receive sufficient light to promote the photosynthesis and rapid growth of sweet potato seedlings.
