Amorpha fruticosa, whose scientific name is Sophora japonica, is a common plant and one of the common street trees in cities. Many people want to plant Amorpha fruticosa at home, but they don't know how Amorpha fruticosa seeds germinate. Below, I will provide you with some methods and suggestions for the germination of Amorpha fruticosa seeds.

First, how to select Amorpha fruticosa seeds

When buying Amorpha fruticosa seeds, you should choose intact seeds with no cracks and damage on the surface, which are easier to germinate than other seeds. In addition, seeds should not be affected by mold and pests.

Second, the treatment of Amorpha fruticosa seeds

There are two methods to germinate Amorpha fruticosa seeds: treatment and non-treatment. The method of treating seeds is to put the seeds in water at 90℃ for 20 seconds, then immediately put the seeds in ice water for 20 seconds, and repeat this operation three times. This can make the seed coat of Amorpha fruticosa thin, which is convenient for buds to break through the ground.

Thirdly, the germination of Amorpha fruticosa seeds.

1. Soil preparation

Mix fertilizer and sand together, and then put them flat in a container for seeds. Then, make several holes about 5 cm deep in the mixture.

sow seeds

Scatter the treated seeds evenly in the hole. Then, gently cover some sand and fertilizer mixture to make it flush with the seed surface. Then pour a little water gently.

Four. Temperature control

When the seeds are wet, cover them with plastic film to keep the soil moist. Putting seeds in a very bright place and keeping the temperature at 15-22℃ can promote the growth of buds. Don't put seeds directly in the sun, otherwise, the heat of the sun will destroy the seed structure and affect germination.

Fifth, take care of the bud growth of Amorpha fruticosa.

When seeds begin to sprout, keep the soil moist, but avoid too much water. At the same time, keep ventilation to avoid water vapor gathering on the plastic film. When the buds grow to 2-3cm, they gradually adapt to the indoor temperature and humidity, and gradually adapt to the sunshine.

In order to cultivate a healthy Amorpha fruticosa tree, it is necessary to wait until the buds grow into saplings and have the right size before transplanting them outdoors. After transplanting, continue to feed the seedlings and pay attention to their growth. It should be noted that if you want to grow high-quality seedlings in a short time, you can add phosphorus and potassium to the fertilizer to help the seedlings grow better.

Summary: Planting Amorpha fruticosa needs careful treatment, and its germination needs to maintain appropriate temperature, soil and humidity, and attention should be paid to details and management during the growth process after germination. Only by paying attention to details and taking them seriously can we plant healthy and mature Amorpha fruticosa trees.
