After sterilization, the seeds were soaked in hot water at 80 ℃ for 3 days, then soaked in clean water at 40 ℃ for one week. After being fished out, the seeds were mixed into sand, and germination was accelerated by low temperature stratification. When the temperature picks up around March next year, the seeds can be moved outside, and they can be sown when they start naturally. The planting soil with high fertility shall be placed in the flowerpot, leveled and sown. The planting spacing shall be about 15cm, and the covered planting soil shall be 2cm thick.

Seed acquisition

First, select the plump and mellow ripe fruit, put it in the shade and wait for it to dry naturally.

Then put the fruit into a strong bag and add some small stones, rub hard, and crush the peel.

After that, pick out the stones, wash off the peel and pulp with water, and leave the seeds.

Put the seed into the disinfectant for sterilization, and then remove the water and wash it.

Because the testa of juniper is very hard and difficult to absorb water and expand, it will be in dormancy period at ordinary times. Therefore, it is necessary to soak the seeds in 80 ℃ hot water for 3 days to break their dormancy.

Then soak the seeds in 40 ℃ water for a week, and mix them into the sand after bailing out. Use the method of low temperature stratification to promote germination.

When the temperature rises around March next year, the seeds can be moved to the outside, and they can be seeded when they are naturally germinating.

The choice of soil

Juniper is fond of fertilizer, and it can play a better role in cultivation by selecting high fertility planting soil.

In addition, because the germination process of seeds needs the participation of oxygen, so choosing a relatively loose, strong permeability planting soil can effectively increase the germination rate of seeds.

How to plant

First of all, put the planting soil to be used in the sun for disinfection.

After that, put the planting soil into the flowerpot, level it, and start sowing. The seed spacing is about 15cm. After sowing, the seeds shall be covered with planting soil, and no seeds shall be exposed to the air. Cover the planting soil 2cm thick, not too thick or too thin.

After covering the planting soil, it is necessary to wet the planting soil with flower sprinkling. Pay attention to watering slowly, not too fast to avoid floating the seeds. Can't irrigate too much, otherwise the water will submerge the seed, affect it to sprout normally.

How to transplant

The seeds should be watered in time after being put into the soil and germinated after 2-3 weeks. After one year's careful care, the seeds can grow to several centimeters high before transplanting.

Before transplanting, we need to level the new planting land, and then dig out the tree pit on it.

Pull out the young plants with roots and soil, and plant them in a new tree pit. Step on the earth, do not leave a gap.

After planting, it needs to be watered immediately and thoroughly.

If necessary, we should also set up a bracket to prevent it from being long and crooked.
