How to improve the germination rate of peacock grass

Techniques for sowing and germination of peacock grass

Ensure the air permeability of the potting soil

First of all, we must choose the right soil, which is the key to good germination. If you choose ordinary soil, it will easily clump together, and the seedlings will not be able to come out and breathe when they germinate. Try to find some black soil with rotten branches and leaves under the grass or big trees.

Make the potting soil finer and mix it with water. It is best if it falls apart when you let go of it after squeezing it into a ball. Cover it with a layer of fine soil after sowing.

Check if the seeds are healthy

Check the seeds for health and remove any seeds that are worm-eaten or shriveled.

Ensure temperature and light

If placed in a warm, lightless room temperature of 18 °, it will germinate in about a week. After germination, place it in a well-lit place. Seedlings will grow after half a month, and then you can manage it normally.

The later cultivation of cosmos is relatively simple. Although the early sowing is not difficult, it would be great if the germination rate could be improved. I wish everyone can cultivate cosmos more efficiently!
