Cassia SIAMEA

Sowing and germination

Seeds are pre-scarified (without disturbing the top layer, germination will be minimal), for this, the outer shell is carefully filed or scratched with a hard instrument so as not to damage the seed, small seeds are scalded with hot (~80°C) water, and then soaked for 12 hours in cold water with the addition of stimulants (balanced plant vitamin supplement, natural plant growth stimulant, amino-acid plant fertilizer, anti-stress adaptogen solution or root development stimulant), then sown in a light, breathable mixture to a depth of 0.7-1 cm, moistened with a spray bottle, placed in a greenhouse or covered with film and germinated in the light, but not in the sun at a temperature of 22-30°C. The seedlings need ventilation. It is necessary to avoid waterlogging and drying out of crops. The first shoots appear a few weeks after planting.
