Here are five short germination tips for Betula ovalifolia (a species of birch) seeds:
 
Cold Stratification – Store seeds in a moist paper towel inside a sealed plastic bag in the refrigerator (0–5°C) for 4–6 weeks to break dormancy.
 
Surface Sowing – Do not bury the seeds; simply sprinkle them on moist, well-draining soil as they require light to germinate.
 
Moisture & Temperature – Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a temperature of 15–20°C for best results.
 
Indirect Light & Airflow – Place the seed tray in a bright, indirect light area and ensure good ventilation to prevent mold.
 
Patience – Germination can take 2–6 weeks, so be patient and keep the conditions stable.
