Aparajita plant care
Propagation of Aparajita using seeds
Seed propagation is the simplest way to propagate Aparajita plants. However, it can be challenging to germinate Aparajita flower seed because of its hard, waxy coating that hinders water absorption.
Plant the seeds about 1/4 inch deep and keep them moist until they germinate, which usually takes about two weeks. Once the seedlings have grown to about 4 inches tall, you can transplant them into larger pots or directly into your garden bed.
You can increase germination rates by nicking the seed coat and soaking them in warm water for 24 hours. It should take between 3 and 6 days for them to germinate.
In warm conditions, the seeds of a tropical legume will germinate best. These plants are intolerant to frost, and they germinate most successfully when the temperature is around 86 degrees Fahrenheit.
Light
Aparajita plants need full sun to partial shade for optimal growth. They can tolerate some shade, but they will not flower as profusely in shadier areas.
Watering
Aparajita plants require regular watering during the growing season. The soil should be kept moist but not soggy. During the winter months, water less frequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
Fertilizing
Aparajita plants do not require much fertilizer, but they will benefit from an occasional application of a balanced fertilizer such as 10-10-10 or 20-20-20. Apply the fertilizer at half strength and water it well after application.
Staking
When planting Aparajita flower seeds outdoors, make sure to provide support for the vines as they grow, so they don't become tangled or damaged. You can use trellises, stakes, or other supports to help keep the vines upright and healthy.
- Fill a container with a potting mix.
- Sprinkle the seeds in the potting mix.
- Make sure to leave a distance of at least 1-2 inches between seeds, to make it easier for you to pull the seedlings out while transplanting them later.
- Cover the seeds with a thin layer of potting mix before watering it thoroughly and placing the container in a spot that gets partial sunlight.
- Water it when the soil feels dry. Overwatering can cause problems.
- The germination period is usually 1-2 weeks. You will see saplings with quite a few leaves in 18-20 days. Then, you can transplant them into the final container.
