• Separate planting of seedlings: When the seedlings grow to a certain height, they can be planted separately. If you want to cultivate in soil, the plants do not need to bring soil and water during the growth period. And control the plant row spacing, and apply liquid fertilizer several times during the period. In addition, remember that when the fruit is about to crack, the seeds need to be harvested in time, otherwise it will be scattered. If it is a potted plant, it is the same method of sub-planting as soil culture.
