This plant usually can be propagated by dividing plant clumps, rhizomes, bulbs or seeds. Best time to do so is in late fall/winter and the second best time is early spring. If growing from seeds, seeds need a cold period time in fridge at least a month to simulate winter.
播種時間點以秋播為主,初春應該會長出. 春播次之.種子要冷層積,如:冰箱冷藏個1個月.
1.In a re-sealable bag fill with some moist potting soil or water moss and current year harvest viable seeds. Moist has to be when squeeze the soil or water moss, water will drip out slowly. Seal the bag and put the bag in the fridge where you store veggies and fruit for one month.
1.用新鮮當年採收的種子裝入夾鍊袋後一些培養土或水苔再加上一些水(要有濕到會滴水的程度)封好,平放在冰箱蔬果貯藏區約1個月.
2.After one month, take the bag out, remove the bag and plant seeds in a pot with light soil cover on top. Place the pot in partial shade or dapple shade location. Any well drained soil or growing medium will do for planting. Keep soil moist until seeds germinated, around 1 months. I tried germinating seeds directly it is around 1 month.
2.時間到後取出播於盆土,種子不喜光可蓋淺淺的土就好. 種植處須半日照或散光處. 土壤不拘但必須排水良好+保濕良好. 繼續保濕到發芽長葉為止,約孵1個月會出芽. 我試過不冰直接苗盆播,約1個月出芽.
3.After germination, keep the pot in partial shade, keep seedlings moist is the key. When seedlings has rhizome — you will see another leaf popping out, It is time you can transplant the seedlings to the ground or a bigger pot. It will take about 3 years to grow from seeds to flower. (Seedlings will age faster if growing in less fertile soil.) Apply fertilizer with higher ratio phosphate to grow strong root system and bigger bulbs. Its white dainty cute bell shape flowers are extremely fragrant and pleasant! Too bad the blooming time is short, only 2-3 weeks in spring. In fall, the fruit ripe and turn orange red. There are off white or yellow seeds inside its berry like fruit.
3.出芽後讓小苗們在半日照處生長. 保溼很重要. 等很快會開始長出走莖(長出另一枝),即可換盆或地植. 從種子到開花約3年. (用不肥沃的田土種比培養土好.) 葉片過於肥大的話要施些磷肥. 我認為球不冰也可以,只要將盆放置在半日照陰涼處. 注意保濕不要乾死. 鈴蘭花形可愛小巧,香氣濃郁怡人很特別,春天很短的兩三週是花期. 秋天結橘紅色漿果. 漿果中有米白色或黃色種子.
Whole plant is toxic if eaten.
整株是有毒的,雖可為藥用. 但要小心勿亂食用.
