Germination tips for Dalbergia sissoo (Indian rosewood) seeds:  

• Pre-Soaking – Soak seeds in warm water (around 40°C) for 24 hours to soften the seed coat.  

• No Scarification Needed – Unlike some species, D. sissoo seeds generally germinate well without scarification.  

• Well-Draining Soil – Use sandy or loamy soil with good drainage to prevent root rot.  

• Warm Temperature – Maintain a temperature range of 25-30°C for optimal sprouting.  

• Consistent Moisture – Keep the soil evenly moist but avoid overwatering.  

Germination typically occurs within 1-3 weeks. 🌱
