Gibbaeum HAAGEI

Sowing and germination

Gibbeum seeds are very small, almost dusty, and ripen in dry capsules that open when exposed to moisture. It is not advisable to soak such seeds - they are easily lost in liquid, so the substrate itself is disinfected: before sowing, it is spilled with a weak solution of potassium permanganate and dried. Scarification and stratification are not required. Sowing is carried out superficially, without deepening - the seeds are only slightly pressed against the moistened surface of the mineral substrate. The crops are moistened from a spray bottle with a solution of a seed-safe growth stimulant according to its label directions, seed-safe growth stimulant, seed-safe growth stimulant, seed-safe growth stimulant or seed-safe growth stimulant, covered with a film or placed in a greenhouse and germinated in the light, but not in direct sun, at a temperature of 22-25°C. Crops are regularly ventilated; waterlogging and drying out of the surface are unacceptable.
