Germination Instructions

For best results, soak the seeds in room-temperature water for approximately 12–24 hours. Cold stratification can help improve and synchronize germination. Place the moist seeds in a sealed container or bag with a suitable growing medium and refrigerate for several weeks.

After stratification, plant the seeds approximately 1/8–1/4 inch deep in a well-draining growing medium. Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging. Place in a warm, bright location. Germination can take several weeks depending on temperature, moisture, seed condition, and growing conditions.

Once seedlings emerge, gradually introduce them to stronger sunlight. Continue providing good drainage and consistent moisture while the young plants establish.

Important: Germination results vary based on environmental conditions and seed handling. No specific germination percentage can be guaranteed for individual growing conditions.
