Sedum PACHYPHYLLUM

Sowing and germination

Sedum seeds are very small, almost dusty, ripen in dry multi-leaflets. It is not advisable to soak such seeds, so the substrate itself is disinfected: before sowing, it is spilled with a weak solution of potassium permanganate and dried. Scarification is not required, but cold stratification is needed. Sowing is carried out superficially, without embedding, in a container with loose, well-drained substrate. The crops are moistened from a spray bottle with a solution of a growth stimulator: SUPERthrive, HB-101, Aminozol, Epin or Zircon, covered with glass or film, or placed in a greenhouse and put in a refrigerator at a temperature of 5-7°C for exactly 14 days. After stratification, the sowing is transferred to a warm, bright place with a temperature of 18-20°C. Under favorable conditions, the first shoots appear already on the 15th day, the main germination is completed by the 30th, and individual seeds may linger longer.
