Here are five short germination tips for Khaya anthotheca (East African Mahogany) seeds:  

• Soak the Seeds – Soak seeds in lukewarm water for 24 hours to soften the seed coat and improve germination.  

• Well-Draining Soil – Use sandy or loamy soil with good drainage to prevent fungal infections and rotting.  

• Sowing Depth – Plant seeds 1–2 cm deep, covering them lightly with soil.  

• Moisture & Temperature – Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a warm temperature of 25–30°C for optimal sprouting.  

• Light & Germination Time – Provide partial shade for seedlings, and expect germination within 7–21 days.
