How to plant purple pearl seeds

1. Operation method

1. Seed collection. If the flower stalks are allowed to mature naturally, most plants will produce many seeds. The seeds should be collected when the fruit is about to mature. Do not wait until it is over-ripe, because if it is too ripe, it will spray out the seeds. Because its seeds are very small, not much bigger than dust, we can use a sieve to separate the seeds from the pods and other residual matter. The collected seeds do not need to be processed and can be directly sown into the soil.

2. Matrix selection. This step will undoubtedly have a great impact on the final survival rate, so we must pay attention and choose carefully when choosing. For this kind of plant, our main considerations include the amount of nutrients and whether its drainage is good. However, we can also use seedling blocks sold in stores instead of preparing our own substrate. However, when we use it, we need to sift out the large particles, and then we can use it like ordinary potting soil.

3. Container selection. You can choose a small shallow basin, and if conditions permit, it is best to choose a plastic one.

4. Specific sowing. Fill the container with substrate (or seedling blocks) and spread some coarse sand on the surface, about six millimeters thick. Be careful not to have any clay on the surface, otherwise it will clump together when it dries. Then, carefully scatter the seeds and spray them with a misting spray, this is to prevent them from sinking into the sand.

2. Precautions

Be careful not to spray water too quickly, otherwise the seeds just planted may be scattered.
