Germination/Propagation Top

Suggest a correction or add new data!
Maintain seeds at 20°C for 3 months, then transfer to 4°C for another 3 months.
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.
