Requirements for planting material

There are two ways of plant reproduction: seeds and cuttings. Some craftsmen are trying to grow a muray from a bone. In this article we will tell you how to germinate a flower with the help of seeds.

Today there are a huge number of specialized stores where you can buy planting material. It is very important to pay attention to the date. The fact is that the percentage of germination depends on the freshness of the seeds.If you manage to take fresh planting material from friends, the probability of successful shoots will increase significantly. Unfortunately, the seeds purchased in the store, can not give sprouts in the process of growing. Planting Muray seeds is a more common method of reproduction than growing out of a stone or grafting.

Seed preparation before planting

Before planting the seeds in the ground, you need to carry out their pre-sowing treatment. To do this, soak them in warm water, wait a few hours and carry out disinfection - put the seeds in a solution of potassium permanganate or Fitosporin. To further plant material germinated better, the seeds need to be processed using "Epin" or aloe juice.

Some gardeners plant their seeds immediately, but the probability of emergence is significantly reduced. To ensure that planting material is sprouted, it is necessary to germinate it in a special container. This is a kind of greenhouse, at the bottom of which lies a piece of foam rubber.It is necessary to pour water to the level of the substrate. A homemade greenhouse must be put in a warm place, for example, on a heated towel rail. In this case, the temperature at the point of contact shall not exceed 35 ° C. This indicator is able to provide optimal conditions for the germination of citrus plants.After the roots sprout from the seeds, you need to remove the greenhouse from the heating and leave it in the room. After about 3-4 days, depending on the growth of the roots, you can perform the landing of the Muray in the ground.

Soil and capacity for landing

If you want Muraya to grow quickly, to please you with flowering and fruits, you need to choose the right soil for planting.

To create the perfect soil you need to mix these ingredients:

• leaf earth - 2 parts;
• sod land - 2 parts;
• humus soil - 2 parts;
• coarse sand - 1 part.

If you do not have the opportunity to independently prepare an earthen substrate, look in a specialized store. Sales consultants will tell you which soil is better suited for planting.We recommend using a hint: ask a specialist to offer you land for planting citrus fruits - it is ideal for your new plant. Before planting a flower, add a little baking powder to the soil. You can use coconut fiber, vermiculite or perlite.Muraya from seeds grown at home should have the correct capacity. Initially, when planting, it is better to choose the smallest pot or plastic cup. When the first leaves appear, you can transplant it into a more suitable pot. If the capacity is large, the plant will put all its strength on the growth of the root system, while its upper part will grow very slowly. As murai grows, an increase in tank size may be needed. Ideally, there should be a distance of 1 cm from the root system to the walls of the pot.

Sowing seeds

To begin with, it is recommended to plant the plant in small plastic cups with a volume of 100-200 ml. At the bottom is to make a cut in the form of a cross. It will serve as a drainage hole. Specially prepared soil is poured into the tank, and abundant watering is carried out. Then you need to insert this glass in the same and install it in a common tray. To avoid damage to the seed and its small root, you need to use a nail file to make a small hole in the ground. It is necessary to gently put the seed in it and with the help of the file, compress the earth around it.

Sprouting conditions

There are many recommendations on how to grow a murayu. It is important to pay special attention to the stage of emergence, then a positive result of the work will not take long.

After the seeds are in glasses or a pot, you need to place the container under the lamp and cover with small lids. It is necessary to create greenhouse conditions. This design will provide a moisture level suitable for rapid germination.Do not often water the soil, as an excessive amount of moisture will adversely affect the Murayu. In self-made greenhouses, the plant should be located until the moment shoots begin to appear. At night, it is recommended to move the covers 1/3 for successful acclimatization.

Care of seedlings

In order for Muraya to grow beautiful and healthy, careful care of her shoots is required.

As soon as the time of the first irrigation without shelter comes up, it is necessary to loosen the top layer of the earth. This event will prevent stagnant water.

It is important to ensure that the entire greenhouse period glasses were in the general lighting of the room.

As soon as the first seed penetrations through the soil become noticeable, pay attention to whether the outer shell of the planting material does not interfere with the roots. This moment comes about 7-14 days after disembarkation. You can remove the shell with tweezers. It should be done very carefully so as not to harm the germ. Of course, you can not touch it, because over time the sprout will independently throw off the remnants of the shell. When a rupture of the outer cover of the seed appears, it is necessary to sprinkle the plant with water and carefully remove the cover from the glass.

After the release of the shells is recommended to install cups under the lamp lighting. After about a month you will be able to see small plants with leaves that can be transplanted from a glass into a pot.

In addition to the aesthetic appearance, it is worth noting the incredible properties of the fruit of the plant. Murayi berries are very healthy and rich in vitamins. They are actively used in pharmaceuticals and cosmetology. Having grown a flower on your own, you can enjoy its aroma and original tender bloom, without leaving your home.
