Method for raising seedlings of chayote

1. Time

It is important to choose the right time when raising chayote seeds. If you plant them randomly, it will not only reduce the survival rate, but also affect the later growth and yield. Generally, planting is carried out in spring in April and May, and specific adjustments should be made according to the local climate. However, if you want to plant it in a greenhouse, you can plant it in March.

2. Land preparation

It likes to grow in a warmer environment and the place where it is planted should have sufficient light. In addition, the soil must also be breathable and have good drainage capabilities, and there should be no large lumps of soil in the land as much as possible. After preparing the land, you should apply some farmyard manure to make the soil more nutritious.

3. Seed selection

You should buy seeds of good quality because their growth cycle is relatively long, so if the seeds are of poor quality, they will easily die during the growth period. After selecting the seeds, put them in warm water, soak them, take them out and soak them in medicine, and finally take them out and rinse them clean.

4. Sowing

When sowing, you can use the hole sowing method, that is, put it into the soil and then cover it with soil. Cover the soil and water it, then wait patiently for the seedlings to grow.
