How to sow moss phlox

sowing

Before sowing, the soil must be disinfected. You can choose to dilute it with potassium permanganate and spray it on the seedbed, and then water it. After there is sufficient water, evenly sow the seeds on the seedbed. Catalytic treatment of seeds is recommended. Then cover with sand and then cover with plastic film. The seeds will germinate after about a week.

Seedling management

The seedlings are very fragile when they first sprout, so they must be managed with extra care after they grow out. Pay attention to controlling the indoor temperature and water volume. When the seedlings grow to a certain size, they can be transplanted and planted. It should also be noted that sufficient base fertilizer should be applied before planting, and attention should be paid to water management and prevention and control of diseases and pests after planting. In order to prevent the occurrence of diseases and pests, you can apply medicine once a week to prevent fungal infections.

Cross pollination

Because moss pink is a bisexual flower, in order to avoid self-pollination, the stamens are removed before the stigma cracks. The recommended pollination method is tube pollination, which saves labor and is fast. The disadvantage is that the yield is lower than that of artificial pollination.
