How to Plant Magic Beans? The Correct Planting Method and Seed Orientation
Magic beans are a “internet-famous product” in the flower market. The seeds are large and plump and can be laser-engraved. After watering, the bean cotyledons that grow out reveal words such as “Happy Birthday” and “I Love You.” Many people buy a few magic beans to plant, so how do you plant magic beans and which side faces up?
1. Which side faces up: Magic beans have no front or back, so either side can face up. Before planting, it is best to read the planting instructions first.
2. Planting temperature: Magic beans are suitable for planting and growing all year round. They like warmth and tolerate heat. The optimum temperature for germination is 25-35°C, the optimum temperature for plant growth is 20-25°C, the optimum temperature for flowering and fruiting is 23-28°C, and 70% sunlight.
2. Planting humidity: Ensure appropriate temperature and humidity. In general, the higher the temperature and the greater the humidity, the more favorable it is for the germination and growth of magic beans. The first watering should be thorough, completely soaking the dry soilless growing medium until excess water flows out of the drainage holes. Place the magic beans in a place with high temperature, high humidity and good ventilation. Every 2—3 days, when you see the surface of the soilless growing medium become dry, spray a small amount of water to keep it moist. Be sure not to water too much or too frequently, so as not to affect the respiration of the bean seed, otherwise the bean seed will rot and scars will form on the surface.
3. Planting sunlight: After germination, expose them to as much sunlight as possible. In summer, sunlight exposure is suitable; in winter, keep them indoors as much as possible and maintain a suitable temperature.
4. Other: After about 7—15 days, the magic beans with words will grow out and show their magic. The lettered cotyledons can last 1—3 months, then fall off, and the plant will continue to grow. Because magic beans are climbing plants, you can set up a trellis to help them grow. If you want the plant to grow better, you can transplant it into a larger flower pot or into the ground, and set up a trellis at the same time.
The idea behind magic beans is very unique. They are an extremely popular variety and are very easy to care for. There are matching magic bean seeds and nutrient fertilizer packaging boxes, and you only need to water them. If they do not germinate for a long time, the magic bean seeds may be dead.
