Podocarpus seed planting method and steps

1. Seeds: Podocarpus seeds usually mature in August-October. They should be sealed after harvesting, taken out when planting, and soaked in warm water. It takes about four days and can be taken out after they have fully absorbed water.

2. Germination: In order to make the Podocarpus seeds grow better, the soaked seeds need to be dried and then wrapped in paper towels for germination. Small sprouts will grow in about 5 days.

3. Sowing: After processing the seeds, you can sow them. It should be noted that the bud tip should be planted downwards, and there should be a reasonable planting distance between the seeds. After sowing, a layer of soil should be covered, and then watering should be carried out appropriately.

4. Maintenance: After planting the Podocarpus seeds, they need to be watered appropriately so that the seeds have sufficient water to grow. After a week, they can be placed in a well-ventilated place for maintenance.
