When is the best time to sow cockscomb seeds?

Cockscomb seeds sowing time

Cockscomb is usually sown between April and May every year. The climate and temperature are most suitable at that time, and the germination rate is the highest after sowing. Therefore, as long as the temperature is stable between 10-25 degrees, sowing can be carried out. It will germinate about 10 days after planting.

Cockscomb seed planting method and steps

1. Substrate: Before sowing cockscomb, you need to prepare the planting soil. It must be loose, fertile, and have good drainage. Before sowing, you also need to add some cake fertilizer or compost as base fertilizer. You can sow when the base fertilizer is fully decomposed.

2. Seeds: Cockscomb seeds are relatively small, so you need to add some fine soil to the seeds before sowing, so that they will not be sown too densely during sowing.

3. Sowing: After sowing cockscomb seeds, they need to be covered with a thin layer of fine soil, and then watered appropriately to keep the soil moist. After that, there should be sufficient sunlight, so that the seeds will germinate faster.

4. Transplanting: When the cockscomb seedlings grow 3-4 true leaves, they can be transplanted into pots or flower beds. It is important to note that there must be appropriate spacing, which is more beneficial for the growth of the seedlings.
