1. Propagation of Qingmuxiang seeds

Qingmuxiang propagation can generally be carried out in late February or early to mid-March in early spring each year. The seeds are evenly sown on the seedbed, then covered with soil about 2 centimeters thick, and watered to keep moist.

It takes about 15 days for the seedlings to emerge. After the emergence of Qingmuxiang, thinning should be carried out, and weeds should be removed and loosened. Watering should be done. In late April or mid-May each year, transplantation can be carried out.

If Qingmuxiang is directly sown, the general sowing time is between mid-March and mid-April each year. After sowing, cover the soil with about 2 centimeters, then water it. The seedlings can emerge in about two weeks.
