Germination/Propagation Top

Suggest a correction or add new data!
Sow seeds at 20°C, expecting germination within 3 months without further temperature treatment.
Sow seeds immediately as their viability decreases rapidly, or they best germinate when fresh. If stored, seeds might need temperature cycling and patience to germinate.
Sow 5 mm deep in a pocket of sand in a 9 cm pots which contains well drained soil. Germinate in bright light @ 26 °C. Keep moist, but not too wet. During the dormant period, small plants may still need a little watering.
