Conicosia PUGIONIFORMIS

Sowing and germination

Conicosia seeds are very small, numerous, dark, ripen in cream-colored spherical 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. Sowing is carried out superficially, without embedding: the seeds need light. A sterile, fine-grained mineral substrate with a top layer of washed sand is used. The crops are moistened from a spray bottle with a solution of a growth stimulator: SUPERthrive, HB-101, Aminozol, Epin or Zircon, covered with a transparent lid or placed in a greenhouse and germinated in bright diffused light and a temperature of 18-24°C, without overheating in direct sun. Under favorable conditions, the first shoots appear within a week, the main germination is completed in 2-3 weeks, and individual seeds can linger for up to 4-6 weeks.
