- The grow mix should be free draining preferably with some organic compost well mix through. This will replicate the soil they require in nature.
- Potting mix is not recommended.
- Sow fine seeds on the surface and cover lightly with the grow mix, do not bury the seed deeply.
- For larger seed sow to a depth of the seed size.
- Water with a fine mist spray to avoid disturbance of the seed.
Germination generally occurs in around 10-28 days at a soil temperature of 18-22°C
*Please note:
- Please do not be too hasty to discard seeds that do not germinate; seeds will often lay dormant until the conditions are similar to their natural germination requirements.
- As with all seeds, they must have adequate water to germinate; keep them moist but not too wet.
- These growth notes are provided as guidance only and do not guarantee successful germination.
- The customer should do their due diligence that they are suited to their region
