Bowiea VOLUBILIS

Sowing and germination

Boviea seeds are small, black, shiny, oblong and angular, about 1-2 mm long, ripen in dry three-nest boxes. It is impractical to soak such small seeds, 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. Seeds are sown without being buried in a light substrate of leaf soil with the addition of sand and only lightly sprinkled with a thin layer of sand on top. The crops are moistened from a spray bottle with a solution of a growth stimulator: balanced plant vitamin supplement, natural plant growth stimulant, amino-acid plant fertilizer, anti-stress adaptogen solution or root development stimulant, and placed in a greenhouse with a temperature of 25-28°C. To maintain humidity, you can put wet sphagnum on top, creating a greenhouse effect.
