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 Light or Surface Sowing: These seeds need light to germinate and should not be covered with soil or only very lightly. They are often very small and sown directly on the surface of the growing medium. |
| 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. |
