Acacia TORTILIS

Sowing and germination

Seeds are pre-scarified (without disturbing the top layer, germination will be minimal), for this, the outer shell is carefully filed or scratched with a hard instrument so as not to damage the seed, small seeds are scalded with hot (~80°C) water, and then soaked for 12 hours in cold water with the addition of stimulants (SUPERthrive, HB-101, Aminosol, Epin or Zircon), then sown in a light, breathable mixture to a depth equal to the size of the seed, moistened with a spray bottle, placed in a greenhouse or covered with film and germinated in the light, but not in the sun at a temperature of 20-22°C. The seedlings need ventilation. It is necessary to avoid waterlogging and drying out of crops. Seeds planted at 20°C germinate from several days to several weeks. After the appearance of two true leaves, the seedlings are planted in separate pots. Seedlings are planted in open ground after reaching a height of 30-40 cm.
