Vaccinium ANGUSTIFOLIUM

Sowing and germination

Seeds need long-term stratification; they are kept for 3-4 months in a cold environment at a temperature of 4-5° C. At home, the seeds are placed in the refrigerator in late autumn or winter and planted in the spring. In our store, the seeds are already stored in a cold environment; when purchasing, check the time of stratification. Before planting, the seeds are soaked for 12 hours in a growth stimulator, then sown to a depth of 1 cm and sprinkled with a thin layer of sand and peat in a ratio of 3:1. They are moistened with a spray bottle, covered with film and germinated in the light at a temperature of 21-22°C. The seedlings need ventilation. It is necessary to avoid waterlogging and drying out of crops. It takes about 3 weeks for seedlings to germinate. Caring for seedlings consists of constantly loosening the soil, weeding and watering. The seedlings are grown at the planting site for 2 years.
