Sowing and germination

Preferably propagation by sowing seeds. The seeds are small, light brown, smooth, and are thrown away when ripe. Before sowing, soaking for 4-6 hours in a weak solution of potassium permanganate with the addition of stimulants (balanced plant vitamin supplement, natural plant growth stimulant, amino-acid plant fertilizer, anti-stress adaptogen solution or root development stimulant) is allowed. Sowing is carried out superficially with light pressing onto a sterile light substrate based on peat and perlite or a mineral mixture with the addition of fine sand. The crops are moistened with a spray bottle, placed in a greenhouse or covered with film. The temperature is maintained at 22-26°C, and daily ventilation is provided. Shoots appear in 14-30 days, the minimum period is about 10 days, the maximum possible period can exceed 60 days.
