Germination/Propagation Top

Suggest a correction or add new data!

Alternate between 4°C and 20°C for 3 months each, over several cycles, with an extended germination period.

Pulpy Coat Inhibits Germination: Seeds with a pulpy or fleshy outer coat need to have this material removed by soaking and rinsing in clean water daily for about a week. The inhibitory substances in the pulp are thus washed away, and germination rates improve.

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.

wash off pulpy coat completely in daily detergent washes
