Nannorrhops RITCHIEANA

Sowing and germination

Before sowing, they are soaked for 2-3 days in warm water with changes of water or in a growth stimulator solution: SUPERthrive, HB-101, Aminozol, Epin or Zircon until swelling. Scarification and stratification are not required. Sowing is carried out in deep pots with a sterile loose substrate of peat and sand, to a depth of about 2 cm. The sowing is moistened with a spray bottle, covered with a transparent lid or placed in a greenhouse and germinated at a temperature of 25-30°C, preferably with bottom heating. Germination is slow and extended: the first shoots appear after 1-3 months, individual seeds can linger for up to six months, so the crops are not thrown away ahead of time. The crops are regularly ventilated and condensation is removed. Seedlings are immediately grown in a deep container and transplanted as rarely as possible.
