1. How do you select Psammosilene tunicoides seeds?

When selecting Psammosilene tunicoides seeds, choose fresh seeds from the current year. Seeds that are free of disease and plump have a higher germination rate. You can buy them from specialized seed shops.

2. Seedling raising methods for Psammosilene tunicoides seeds

1. Site selection and land preparation

For the planting plots for Psammosilene tunicoides (direct seeding and transplanting land), sunny sloping land should be chosen. On the one hand, this can meet the light and temperature requirements of Psammosilene tunicoides, and at the same time, sunny sloping land can avoid waterlogging disasters caused by poor drainage. The soil type should preferably be sandy loam developed from limestone. Soil containing a certain amount of gravel and stones is also acceptable. It should have a certain level of fertility, and the key is to ensure soil permeability to facilitate seedling emergence and root growth.

2. Seed treatment and germination promotion

According to the planting method and planting area, take a certain amount of seeds, remove impurities, improve their purity, and soak the seeds in an 800-fold solution of 50% carbendazim wettable powder for 12 hours. Remove shriveled seeds, filter, then cover with a wet cloth and place under environmental conditions of about 20°C. Turn them 1 to 2 times a day. When about 2% of the seeds have split and sprouted, they should be sown promptly.

3. Sowing

In the Weining area of Guizhou, because the temperature rises late and rainfall comes late, the sowing time is generally chosen from mid-to-late April to early May. Other places can determine the sowing period according to the timing of spring temperature rise and rainfall.

4. Transplanting

Transplanting of Psammosilene tunicoides can be carried out in spring and autumn. Autumn transplanting is carried out after the aboveground parts wither and the seedlings fall over. It is best to transplant while lifting the seedlings. Spring planting is carried out before the buds of the tuberous roots begin to sprout. In Weining County, Guizhou Province, this is generally done from March to April. When transplanting, form ridges with wide and high beds at 1.2 m, and the bed length depends on the terrain. Transplant with a row spacing of 20 cm and a plant spacing of 10 cm. If seedlings have already grown from the buds at the time of transplanting, the seedlings must be left exposed when covering with soil after transplanting. A transplanting method using bamboo strips to make holes and inserting the tuberous roots along the bamboo strips, then compacting the surrounding soil, can also be used. It is best to do this in the early morning or evening on cloudy days after rain, when soil moisture is good. After transplanting, water thoroughly in time to settle the roots. If conditions permit, use shade netting for shading, which can help retain moisture and nurture the seedlings, and gradually remove it after the seedlings emerge or survive.
