Grewia ASIATICA

Sowing and germination

Grevia seeds are small, hard, and are found in the seeds of the fruit. The pulp is completely removed, the seeds are washed and soaked for 24-48 hours in warm water or in a solution of a growth stimulator: balanced plant vitamin supplement, natural plant growth stimulant, amino-acid plant fertilizer, anti-stress adaptogen solution or root development stimulant. Stratification is desirable: 3-4 weeks at 3-5°C in wet sand noticeably level out the seedlings. Sowing is carried out in a sterile loose substrate of peat and sand to a depth of about 1 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. Shoots appear after 2-6 weeks, unevenly. The crops are ventilated daily and condensation is removed. Seedlings grow quickly; planting into separate pots is carried out after the second pair of true leaves have unfurled.
