Planting time and method of fennel seedlings
Planting time of fennel seedlings
Fennel seedlings are suitable for planting in spring and autumn, and the specific time is March-April in spring and August-September in autumn. A warm climate is very helpful for seed germination. Don't plant them in hot summer and cold winter.
Method for plan fennel seedlings
1, seed selection
Fennel seeds should be full, healthy and last year, so that the success rate of germination is higher. In order to accelerate germination, you can soak it in warm water for about 12 hours, then wrap it with gauze and germinate at about 20 degrees. After the seeds show white buds, you can start preparing for sowing.
2. Apply base fertilizer to the soil
Fennel is suitable for planting in loose and fertile sandy soil with good drainage, which can make fennel flourish. Fennel is a plant that loves fertilizer. Before planting, some basic fertilizers can be applied, preferably ternary compound fertilizer mixed with manure, so that the nutrients are more comprehensive and fennel grows more effectively.
Step 3: sow.
After applying base fertilizer, we should deeply cultivate the soil, then level the border, then sow it in the soil and cover it with a thin layer of soil. If it is planted in a rainy area, it is necessary to raise the border and cover the fennel seedlings with film.
Matters needing attention in planting fennel seedlings
When fennel seedlings grow real leaves, you can start thinning. First remove the surrounding weeds, and then plant fennel seedlings at a distance of about 4 cm. If fennel seedlings are scarce, they should be replenished in time.
