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.
dry storage is fatal; grow indoors for 3 cycles, then put outdoors in Jan. for April germination
