Germination Tips

1. Seed preparation: Soak seeds in lukewarm water for 12–24 hours before sowing.

2. Cold stratification: Keep seeds in a moist medium in the refrigerator for approximately 30–60 days to help improve germination.

3. Sowing depth: Sow seeds about 0.5 cm deep in a well-draining seed-starting mix.

4. Temperature: Maintain around 18–22°C after stratification.

5. Moisture and light: Keep the medium evenly moist but not waterlogged, and provide bright, indirect light. Germination may take several weeks.
