Where to Buy Ice Plant Seeds? A Detailed Guide to Seedling Cultivation Methods
Ice plant is a health-promoting vegetable that has become popular in recent years. Its nutritional value is extremely high, and its market price is quite good, so many vegetable growers want to start cultivating it. So where are ice plant seeds sold? How much per jin? How do you grow ice plant seedlings? Let's learn and understand together below.
1. How much is ice plant seed per jin?
Large-leaf ice plant seeds from Jinjiang District, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, bagged, 10 grams per bag, minimum order of five bags, 6.5 yuan per bag; ice plant seeds from Xiayi County, Shangqiu City, Henan Province, 10 yuan per bag, etc. The above quotes all come from the Nongxun Network procurement and supply hall.
2. What are the ice plant seedling cultivation methods?
1. Spot sowing
Sow one seed per cell in the seedling tray, or sow 3 seeds per spot at 9 cm intervals. If the soil covering is too thick, it will affect germination, so just cover lightly with soil. The key to better germination is temperature management after sowing, targeting around 20 degrees; during low-temperature periods, use an insulated box or similar. If sowing and cultivating in autumn, it may be affected by high temperatures, and the germination rate will decrease. Please note, keep the seedling room well ventilated to bring down the temperature of the seedling environment.
2. Transplanting
When the leaves have grown to the 4th--5th leaf, about 20-40 days after sowing (varies depending on the cultivation period), it is the suitable time for transplanting. Because production areas differ, direct sowing is also possible; for improving the premium product rate or for long-term harvesting, seedling cultivation is suitable.
3. Temperature management
The suitable temperature for ice plant is 20--30°C; summer cultivation growth is sensitive to high temperatures.
4. Watering
Ice plant is relatively drought-tolerant, but when irrigating, do so when the soil surface is dry.
5. Harvesting method
At harvest, use scissors to cut radially outward, harvesting from the side branches about two months after sowing. During transport, store at low temperature or make use of the low early-morning temperature; after harvesting, pre-cool.
