Here are five short germination tips for Acacia elatior seeds:
- Hot Water Treatment – Pour hot water (around 80°C) over the seeds and let them soak for 12–24 hours until they swell.
- Scarification – If seeds don’t swell after soaking, gently nick the seed coat with a file or sandpaper to improve water absorption.
- Sowing Depth – Plant seeds about 0.5–1 cm deep in well-draining sandy or loamy soil.
- Moisture & Temperature – Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a warm temperature (20–30°C) for optimal germination.
- Sunlight & Ventilation – Provide partial sunlight and good airflow to prevent mold and support healthy seedling growth.
