Potted saffron is generally propagated by sowing. After the seeds are sown, it is recommended to place the flowerpot in a well-ventilated and well-lit place. After about 20 days, the plant will begin to grow roots and can be managed normally.

Key points for caring for potted saffron

1. Potted saffron will germinate about 15-20 days after planting. You can water it once before germination to increase the humidity of the soil. Be careful not to use ice water when the climate is low. The water temperature should be equivalent to room temperature.

2. Before planting potted saffron, appropriate base fertilizer should be added to the potting soil, such as cake fertilizer, stable manure, burnt soil, wood ash, etc.
