Livistona CHINENSIS

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, after which it is soaked for 24-48 hours in warm water with the addition of stimulants (SUPERthrive, HB-101, Aminozol, Epin or Zircon), then sown into the lungs a breathable mixture to a depth of 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. Seeds take about 3 months to germinate on average, but some can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 years, depending on preparation. Strong seedlings are planted in separate tall and narrow pots.
