Get a pot of paddy rice and never confuse the five grains again

Many regions do not grow rice, so some imaginative gardening enthusiasts have the idea of growing potted rice. So how do you grow potted rice? Well, to satisfy some gardening enthusiasts' love for potted rice (that is, paddy rice), let's first learn about the seeds. The rice bought in supermarkets is commercial fully milled rice; the embryo of this rice has already been removed during the milling process, so it will not produce results. We need to find paddy grain for propagation, preferably unhusked. This can be hard to find in some areas, so you can look more often in those bulk rice piles; sometimes there will be some that have not been husked.

Once the paddy grain is ready, we have several sowing methods to choose from, and gardening enthusiasts can choose according to their own ideas. One is direct sowing, which means burying the paddy grain directly in the pot. The other is to soak the seeds first to promote germination. We usually soak the seeds to promote germination and sow in mid-May. Rice seeds from the Yangtze River basin are quite suitable for soaking in mid-May, and those from Northeast China around mid-April.

What needs to be explained to gardening enthusiasts is that potted rice must be kept outdoors in the open air day and night for care; indoor care will not work (you really think it is a bonsai, huh). Good ventilation and good light are required. In addition, as for the soil in the flowerpot, this is very flexible; soaking flower-growing potting soil into mud also works.

Below let's look at the process of a gardening enthusiast growing potted rice.
