Sowing:
These seeds have a hard shell that does not allow moisture to penetrate the germ.
In order for the seeds to germinate, the shell must be scratched with a knife. Sandpaper can also be used for this purpose.
Then soak in very warm water for 24-48 hours. To keep the water always warm, we recommend using a household thermos. Change the water every day.
After soaking - 90-120 days, place in the refrigerator (+ 2- + 4C) in slightly moist vermiculite or other sterile soil or sand in an airtight bag or sow in a greenhouse at the beginning of winter.
After stratification, the seeds are sown outdoors in spring or in pots in bright rooms.
The best germination temperature is + 15- + 20 C.
The soil should be constantly moist.
Germination can take 1-4 months, so be patient.
