How to grow from seeds? If we talk about the natural growth of plants, then it is indirectly initiated by birds, such as red berries on these plants, which contain seeds, and this fruit is eaten by birds and it spreads and grows through their feces, but the process starts the next year. You can also sow the same seeds in a plant pot or other container at home. For that, you have to dig a hole about 2 inches deep in the ground and then plant its seeds, after which you have to put some object around it as a marker and constantly observe whether the germination process in the seeds naturally occurs at the right time or is delayed.

The best time to grow is in the fall, but if you decide to grow it, you can also grow it in the spring. If you plan to grow it in the fall, keep in mind that it is protected from excessive heat so that the seeds do not get damaged or that they do not get destroyed by excessive watering when growing in the spring. When it comes to watering, keep in mind that the possibility of “frost” can be removed before sowing.

Once the site is selected, then the right time is also selected, then the seedlings should be selected from the right nursery. For this, keep in mind that

(1) Remove the cover around the seedlings brought from the nursery very slowly so that their delicate roots do not get damaged in any way.

(2) Dig a hole in the ground as deep as the soil or root part of the plant and turn your hand up and down inside the hole so that the soil etc. is removed and the roots are not damaged in any way.

(3) Then fill the hole with natural fertilizers such as dry leaves, cow dung and other soil.

(4) Then give plenty of water and press it gently.

(5) Water should be given regularly and evenly during the first year.

Watering: It should be noted that the plant has recently been brought from the nursery and its delicate roots have been replanted, so it needs special water. Therefore, if it does not get enough water, there is a risk of the plant drying out, so regular watering is necessary.

The best way to check is to press the loose soil with your finger and if at least 1 inch of the soil feels wet, then it means that the water and moisture content in the soil is balanced and the roots are getting the necessary water and the growth process is normal.

Pruning: The best time to carry out this process is the early days of winter because by then the flowering season has also ended so that the plant can achieve its maximum height and robust growth and grow to its full potential by the month of March.
