How to sow the seeds of Schima superba

Start time

Sowing is more convenient, so it is better to choose this method. Since the seeds mature around October-November, some farmers may want to sow directly. However, they cannot be sown directly after collection, because it is relatively cold during this period, and untreated seeds are difficult to germinate. Therefore, the best time for sowing is February and March, when the weather will gradually warm up and the sown seeds will not be frozen. So it is best to choose this period for planting.

Steps of sowing

After collecting the seeds in autumn, they must be piled up for 3-5 days, then dried and stored. This will allow for better germination. Before planting, you must choose a good location according to its habits. This plant is relatively light-loving, so do not sow it in a shady place. If it does not see sunlight for a long time, the temperature will not rise. Before planting, in addition to loosening and turning the soil, you should also add a little fertilizer to ensure that they grow better at the beginning. Then put the seeds in place and don’t cover them with too thick soil.

Management after sowing

The seeds that have just been sown should be watered immediately to ensure that they are fully watered. This will ensure that the seedlings do not lack water at the beginning. Of course, in addition to watering, they should also be covered with moisturizing wet grass. After preparation, the seedlings will emerge in about 15-20 days. When the seedlings have basically come out, you can remove the grass. During this period, thinning out the seedlings 2-3 times is needed. The seedlings that are growing poorly or growing too densely should be removed. Water them in time after each thinning so that they can grow better.

Okay, now you know how to sow this plant. Farmers who have no experience but want to try can give it a try.
