Growth Habits and Environmental Conditions of Rape

rape growth habit

rape prefers warm and humid climate. The optimum temperature for seed germination is 16~2℃, and the lowest temperature for seed germination is 2~3℃. Generally, rape does not require much soil, but the phosphorus content in the soil should not be too much, otherwise it will affect its growth.

the shape characteristics of rape

the leaves of rape are alternate, including basal leaves and stem leaves. Basal leaves are undeveloped, oval and petiolate, while cauline leaves have no petiole, with bristles and marginal hairs on both sides. Rape flowers are yellow, with 4 petals and a typical cross shape, usually with 6 stamens. Its seeds are silique-shaped and purple-brown.

growing environment conditions of rape

illumination

: because rape is a short-day plant, the requirement for sunlight is not very high. Generally, mild sunshine in winter can meet its light growth conditions.

Temperature

: Generally, rape seeds can germinate in an environment above 15 degrees, and then almost all seedlings can grow at a temperature, while the temperature for plant growth should be above 1 degrees.

Soil

: Rapeseed loves fertilizer, so the growing environment needs to have enough nutrients and straight roots, so it is best to grow in deep, loose, breathable and fertile soil.

The growth process of rape

Rape is in the seedling stage from emergence to budding, and it is in the bolting stage from budding to flowering, which usually occurs first and then bolting; The flowering period is from flowering to the end of flowering, and it is also a period of vigorous growth; From flower withering to flower seed maturity is pod maturity.

key points of potted rape cultivation

temperature

: potted rape likes cool climate, and the suitable growth temperature is 18-2℃, so it needs to be given a suitable temperature during cultivation.

illumination

: if you want rape seeds to germinate and emerge, you must put them in a sunny place, otherwise the seeds will easily grow delicate after emergence.

water content

: The root system of rape is very shallow, but it needs a lot of water, especially in the vigorous growth period of plants. It is necessary to keep the soil moist.

Soil

: Rapeseed is not strict with soil texture, and sandy loam is better, so sandy loam can be used as potted soil, or nitrogen fertilizer can be applied to it to make use of its growth.
