Graines de Cotonnier de Louisiane à semer en pot

Method of cultivation:

• Sow the cotton seeds: Open the bag and pour the seeds into your hand. For sowing, sprinkle seeds on non-compact moist soil, maximum 2 to 3 seeds per pot by pushing them 5 mm into the ground. Save the remaining seeds for a later sowing or to sow directly in your garden or on your balcony in sunny weather. Gently cover the seeds with fertilized coconut soil and tamp lightly.
• Water: Ideally use rainwater or filtered water (without chlorine). Prefer a watering in fine rain, without touching the plants too much, ideally using a hand spray, to keep the soil just wet, without gorging it with water, throughout the culture. Imagine the earth as a wet sponge and then wrung out. Be gentle and measured.
• Germination: tree seeds to be sown directly sprout like other seeds. Expose them to sunlight behind a glass window, without placing them over a radiator and ideally with a plastic water bottle cut out for use as a greenhouse. Cotton seeds can take a week to germinate. Keep seedlings under the plastic bottle for as long as possible to retain heat and moisture. The plant then grows normally but slowly.
• Transplant: When the seedlings emerge and reach 3 to 5 cm in height, select only one plant per pot and transplant the others into new pots or planters, always maintaining heat and humidity for these plants. Be careful not to break stems or roots when transplanting. Water to promote regrowth.You can take out the pots when the plants are strong and with a suitable temperature.
• Harvest: The cotton tree is a shrub that can grow in pots inside a veranda and begins to give cotton flowers about 150-180 days after planting. The cotton capsules are harvested when the fibres inside have matured, that is 2 to 3 months after the flowering of the plant.
• Learn more: Cotton, or Gossypium, is a plant grown for its soft fibers, which are used in the manufacture of fabrics. Cotton has been cultivated since antiquity in various parts of the world, including Egypt, India and China.
