Germination/Propagation Top

Suggest a correction or add new data!
Sow at 4°C for 3 weeks, then increase to 20°C.
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
