Germination/Propagation Top

Suggest a correction or add new data!
Alternate between 20°C and 4°C for 3 months each, across multiple cycles, acknowledging that germination may be prolonged.
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.
hydrophilic, dried seed unlikely to germinate
