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. |
| 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. |
| 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 impairs germination |
