Planting suggestions:

Prairie Blazingstar is suitable for sowing from February to May and from August to October. At this time, there is sufficient light and rainfall to meet the growth needs of Prairie Blazingstar. The germination rate of seedlings is relatively high, which can also reduce the sowing cost for growers.

• 1. Growth needs
  Prairie Blazingstar is a plant that grows faster in summer because the light time is longer at this time. Therefore, growers must pay attention to external light conditions when sowing, which directly affects the germination rate.
• 2.Sowing time
  In spring and autumn, the sunshine duration can reach 8 hours, and the external rainfall is relatively large, which can ensure that the soil is deep and contains sufficient nutrients. Therefore, sowing Prairie Blazingstar is a very good choice.
• 3. How to germinate seeds
  The germination of Prairie Blazingstar seeds is very important. Because the seed particles are not particularly large, they can be soaked in warm water for about 8 hours. The water temperature should be adjusted to about 30 ℃. After soaking, the seeds of the snake whip chrysanthemum can expand. As for the germination effect, the general germination time should be about 7 to 10 days. When planting, be careful not to cover the plant too deeply.
