How to sow fuchsia seeds? I'll teach you the correct sowing method

  Just hearing the name fuchsia, you can pretty much picture what it looks like, right? With its uniquely shaped flowers, it catches the eyes of countless flower lovers. Have you become interested in it too? Fuchsia seeds are heat-tolerant but not frost-tolerant.

  As a fuchsia collecting addict, the original poster has collected fuchsias for nearly five years, but was still not satisfied with these. So a few years ago, the original poster began sowing fuchsia seeds. Due to neglect of care, they did not germinate, or the seedlings died young after germinating. This year, they finally germinated successfully and survived to two months of age, but fuchsia seedlings grow astonishingly slowly and are a bit disappointing. The male parent was a short-tubed single-petaled small flower, and the female parent was a double-petaled round red-purple medium flower (not a common variety on the market). One offspring survived; everyone wish it a speedy growth!

  Germination photo, you will probably need very good eyesight. Nearly twenty seeds were sown, and in the end five germinated, three unfolded leaves, two died young, and the one survivor has begun to grow true leaves. If it does not die, the day it blooms should be counted in years……

  The fuchsia fruit is a berry. It does not shrivel before ripening; instead, once it has turned entirely purple and the fruit stalk begins to shrivel, it can be picked, placed in water and washed. In one ripe berry, there are fewer than five plump seeds, and at minimum only one!

  Some varieties that set fruit easily can be propagated by sowing. Sow in spring and autumn in a greenhouse using a seedling tray, adopting the broadcast sowing method. At a temperature of 15-20°C, they germinate in about 15 days. Sown in spring, they will only bloom the following year.
