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.
Germination Improved by GA3: Gibberellic Acid(GA3) is a plant growth hormone that can break dormancy and improve germination rates for seeds that are otherwise difficult to sprout.
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.
keep all seed pots x 2 years
