How to plant spring fern seeds

1. Sowing steps

1. Prepare a shallow container with a drainage hole at the bottom. A clay pot is best.

2. Prepare loose and sparse sandy leaf mold and disinfect it.

3. Put the disinfected soil into the pot, put the spring fern seeds in it, and cover it with a thin layer of soil.

4. After planting the seeds, the potting soil should be kept moist and watered by spraying. Do not use large amounts of water, which can easily wash away the seeds and cause overwatering, affecting the survival rate of the seeds.

5. Place the potted plants in a warm and humid environment. The room temperature can be in spring and summer, and it is best to control it between 23℃ and 26℃.

6. After planting, maintain the correct maintenance method and the seeds will germinate in about two weeks.

2. Post-maintenance

1. Repotting

The young shoots grow into seedlings, and when they reach five centimeters in height, they can be transplanted into pots in spring. Prepare the container for transplanting, mix it with peat soil, river sand, humus and other materials, and apply a small amount of ammonia fertilizer.

After repotting, the seedlings will relieve themselves and enter a period of rapid growth. At this time, ensure sufficient water. In addition to watering in moderation, spray water on the leaves to ensure air humidity and prevent the leaves from drying out and losing their ornamental value. Control the frequency of watering in winter, and water only when the surface of the soil in the pot becomes dry.

2. Spring fern is shade-tolerant and can grow if placed indoors for about half a month. However, in summer, when the air temperature is high and the transpiration is relatively strong, it should be shaded and placed in a semi-shaded and ventilated environment. This is also done to prevent the leaves from being burned by strong light.

3. Use fertilizer to supplement nutrients about once a month during the growing season. You can choose organic liquid fertilizer, or thin fertilizer. You can also use rice water or fish blood water with a lower concentration.

4. The temperature is too low in winter. To prevent freezing, move the plant indoors and place it near a sunny window.
