Pelargonium Potted Sowing Method and Precautions

  Pelargonium seeds cost 15 yuan for 10 seeds, but pelargoniums are absolutely the perfect choice for beginners to practice with! They germinate quickly, grow quickly, tolerate shade and drought, and are super robust, practically like weeds.

  A pot of pelargoniums is not cheap on the market, and seedlings are very expensive too. If you do not have gold, then trade your labor for it! Buy the seeds yourself, plant a few pots with your own hands, and enjoy the joy that the planting process brings you!

  In April, buy the seeds from the market, and try to choose varieties with better quality, easy germination and flowering, and easy care. Directly scatter the seeds in the flower pot. Before sowing, soak the soil.

  Use the last lid to block the mouth of the container. It is best to use a transparent one for easy observation.

  Then cover the flower pot with a shade cloth and do not let it see light.

  After 2~3 days, lift the lid and you can see that the seeds have sprouted white. At this time, sprinkle a little soil on the seeds.

  After another 2~3 days, small leaves have basically grown. Congratulations, your sowing has succeeded. The rest of the time is just letting the seedlings slowly grow. When they grow 3~4 leaves, they can be replanted separately into pots.

  Precautions for sowing pelargoniums:

  Whether sowing succeeds and whether the seed germination rate is high depends greatly on the seeds. Good seeds can germinate in 24 hours. But if the seed quality is poor, you have to wait at least 1~2 weeks.

  Covering with soil after the seeds sprout white is to prevent the seeds from rotting in a humid environment. After germination, covering with soil can help them root and grow leaves better.

  There is no specific time limit for sowing. As long as the temperature is around 18°C, it is fine.
