Germination/Propagation Top

Suggest a correction or add new data!
Sow seeds at 20°C, expecting germination within 3 months without further temperature treatment.
Requires Darkness: These seeds need to be covered with soil or otherwise kept in the dark to germinate properly. Light inhibits their germination process.
Requires Soaking: These seeds need to be soaked in warm water until they swell, which can take 24-48 hours. Seeds that float are usually not viable and should be discarded, along with the soaking water.
"add detergent to water when soaking, sow in equal parts of peat, loam and grit with extra richness at bottom of pot, space 2"" apart, allow absolutely no light during germination, provide steady supply of moisture, grow on in pot for 18 months"
