Here are 5 short tips to germinate Siraitia grosvenorii (Monk Fruit) seeds:
Scarify the Seeds: Gently nick or sand the seed coat to enhance water absorption and promote germination.
Soak the Seeds: Soak seeds in warm water (around 70-80°F / 21-27°C) for 24 hours to soften the seed coat and stimulate germination.
Warm, Humid Environment: Place seeds in a warm, humid environment (75-85°F / 24-29°C) to encourage sprouting. A humidity dome or plastic cover can help.
Well-Draining Soil: Plant seeds in a light, well-draining potting mix to avoid waterlogging and root rot.
Patience: Germination may take 2-4 weeks, so be patient and keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Good luck with your monk fruit seeds!
