How to save seeds of water chestnut

Water chestnuts usually grow leaves in the first three months, and flowers will bloom after six months. Then they will produce small water chestnuts with seeds inside. After harvesting, they can be preserved. They need a relatively dry environment so that they can be preserved for a longer time.

Keep your own seeds

Water chestnuts can keep their own seeds. After they mature, the seeds can be harvested and stored, and then they can be planted in the second year.

Water chestnut seed storage

When preserving water chestnut seeds, you need to select the seeds first, and then soak the selected seeds in a water tank for a long time. In order to ensure that the water is clean, you must remember to change the water frequently. The temperature is low in winter, so in order to ensure that the water does not freeze, it must be placed in a warm place.

Water chestnut seed planting method

Water chestnut seeds are generally planted in April each year because the climate at that time is most suitable for growth, allowing them to grow relatively quickly. It is best to have sufficient sunlight at normal times.

When planting water chestnut seeds, you need to use loose and fertile soil and apply enough base fertilizer. There should be appropriate row spacing when planting, which is more conducive to growth. At ordinary times, you need to water and fertilize according to the radiation.
