1, you can go to the flower market to buy dandelion seeds or collect wild dandelion seeds yourself. There are general parks and suburban roadsides. Around June, dandelion seeds gradually mature, turn brown and can be picked.

2. Collect the seeds, dry them in a cool and ventilated place for 2 days, then soak them in clear water for 2-4 hours to accelerate germination, and then you can sow.

When dandelion grows new leaves, it can be planted. 2-3 weeks should not be watered to avoid root rot. Dandelion has strong drought resistance and insect resistance, so there are few pests and diseases in the planting process, which is an advantage over other plants. The most important thing in dandelion field management is fertilizer and water management. 65% of the whole plant is water, so the requirement for water is extremely high, so it needs to be watered frequently to keep the soil moist, and the requirement for fertility is not high. Apply sufficient fertilizer before planting and topdressing 1-2 times in the growing season.

Matters needing attention in planting dandelion:

Water regularly during the growing period to keep the soil moist, especially after emergence, which is the key point of dandelion growth. Industrial chemical fertilizer is not recommended for dandelion growth. Although chemical fertilizer can make it grow fast and strong, it will lose the game style of dandelion and reduce its efficacy. It is best to apply farmyard manure or organic fertilizer.

Dandelion planting

Dandelion is a perennial plant. In the wild, biennial plants can blossom and bear seeds. In early summer, the number of flowering and fruiting seeds increases with the growth years. Some plants open more than 20, and excellent varieties can open more than 20. After flowering, the seeds will mature in 13 ~ 15 days.

The shell of the disk changes from green to yellow-green, and the seeds can be harvested from ivory to brown. Don't wait for the disc to crack before harvesting, otherwise the seeds will easily fly away and lose a lot. Generally, the number of seeds per flower head is above 100. The 1000-grain weight of Taraxacum macrophyllum seeds is about 2g, and that of Taraxacum microphyllum seeds is about 0.8 ~1.2g..

When collecting seeds, you can take off the dandelion's disk and store it indoors for a day. After the disk is completely scattered, dry it in the shade for 1 ~ 2 days until the seeds are half dry, rub off the fluff at the tip of the seeds by hand, and then dry the seeds for later use.

In places with abundant wild dandelion resources, the roots of wild dandelion can also be directly controlled for cultivation. Usually in June 5438+10, after digging the roots, plant them in the greenhouse with row spacing of 8 cm× 3 cm. After planting, water enough, and new leaves will grow in February of the following year. At this time, organic fertilizer is applied again, and the leaves can be picked and listed when they grow to a certain extent.
