Sowing and germination

Before planting, it is recommended to treat the seeds with nail clippers or rub them with sandpaper - this will help open the seed shell, but you need to act carefully so as not to damage the inside of it. Most often, the seed material is soaked overnight in warm water (possibly in a very weak solution of potassium permanganate so that its color is slightly pinkish), but some gardeners do not do this, however, the process of settling the seeds in a warm liquid promotes their rapid germination. Plant the seeds in containers filled with peat and perlite (or a peat-sand mixture). Embedding of the seed should correspond to its two diameters. The pot with plantings is also covered with plastic wrap or a piece of glass is placed on top. With daily ventilation and subsequent moistening of the substrate, such seeds will germinate in 14-20 days.
