Here are 5 short tips for germinating Tabebuia pentaphylla (Pink Trumpet Tree) seeds:
Soak Seeds: Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours to soften the seed coat and enhance germination.
Scarify the Seed Coat: Lightly scarify the seed coat with sandpaper or a knife to help water penetrate and stimulate germination.
Warm Temperature: Keep the temperature between 70-80°F (21-27°C) for the best germination results.
Well-draining Soil: Use a well-draining, light potting mix to avoid waterlogging, which can inhibit root growth.
Humidity: Maintain high humidity by covering the seeds with a plastic cover or placing them in a greenhouse to keep moisture levels consistent.
These tips should help ensure better germination success for Tabebuia pentaphylla.
