Sowing method:
The seeds are small and long-lived, and the germination rate is still 79.7% after three years storage at room temperature. Live, South March, North April. The row spacing is 35 cm, and the shallow ditch is 1 cm. Spread the seeds evenly into the ditch, cover with soil, press slightly, and then water.
After sowing, keep the soil moist. When the temperature is about 25℃, the seedlings will emerge in about 5 days. When the seedling height is 5 ~ 10 cm, remove the small, thin and dense seedlings and fix the seedlings at the interval of 20 cm. Reasonable close planting can achieve high quality and high yield.
3 ~ 4 real leaves can be planted in flowerpots or flower beds with a spacing of 30 cm.
