How to plant tiger flower seeds

Soil selection

To grow a flower, you must first choose a good substrate for it. When choosing the cultivation soil for tiger flower, pay attention to its habits, so that the selected cultivation soil can allow it to grow better.

It likes a shady and humid growing environment, so when choosing the cultivation soil, it is best to choose the cultivation soil with a certain moisture retention ability. Such culture soil can provide it with a relatively humid growth environment, which is conducive to its healthy development.

Choosing a culture soil containing humus can provide it with more nutrients for growth and development, helping it grow better.

Try to choose culture soil with better ventilation to help the seeds germinate as soon as possible.

Sowing time

The flowering period of tiger face flower is in late November, and the fruiting period is from March to May. When the fruit matures, the seeds can be collected for planting. It is best to sow the seeds immediately after harvesting and not leave them outside for too long.

One reason is that if the seeds are left outside for too long, the germination rate may be reduced. The second reason is that March to May happens to be the season of spring flowers blooming, and the seeds will have relatively good climatic conditions for development and growth when buried in the soil at this time.

Sowing method

First, you need to prepare the culture soil. Tiger flower likes fertilizer. Before sowing, you need to add some organic fertilizer or animal manure as base fertilizer to the culture soil to ensure adequate nutrition.

Choose a flowerpot of appropriate size, put the processed culture soil into the pot and smooth it out to about 90% full. Then use a kettle to water the pot to ensure that the potting soil in the pot is sufficiently moist.

Then place the seeds on the soil surface. Be careful to keep the distance between seeds moderate, not too big or too small. If the planting distance is too large, the grown plants may be too scattered, affecting the appearance; if the planting distance is too small, the grown plants may be too dense, and the resources in the pot may not be sufficient to support their healthy growth.

Then cover the sown seeds with a thin layer of soil. Note that the covering soil should not be too thick, just cover the seeds by 1 cm.

Finally, place the planted seeds in a semi-shaded environment, water them on time and wait for them to germinate.
