Germination/Propagation Top

Suggest a correction or add new data!
Alternate between 4°C and 20°C for 3 months each, over several cycles, with an extended germination period.
Requires Darkness: These seeds need to be covered with soil or otherwise kept in the dark to germinate properly. Light inhibits their germination process.
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.
