Actinidia KOLOMIKTA

Sowing and germination

Before sowing, stratification is carried out: the seeds are soaked in water for 2 days, then mixed with wet sand and kept in the refrigerator at a temperature of about +4°C for 6–8 weeks. After stratification, the seeds are sown to a depth of 0.5 cm in a light, moist substrate consisting of peat and sand. The container is covered with film or glass and ventilated daily. The temperature is maintained between 22–25°C. Shoots appear in 3–6 weeks. After two true leaves appear, they are picked into separate containers. Young plants are kept warm and in good light; additional lighting is used if necessary.
