Brachychiton RUPESTRIS

Sowing and germination

The seeds are pre-soaked for a day in a growth stimulant (zircon) and potassium permanganate, after swelling they are carefully scarified (the shell is scratched with a file or a file, sandpaper or rubbed with sand), then sown in a loose seed substrate based on cocopet, perlite, vermiculite and charcoal (you can use a mixture for adeniums), moistened with a spray bottle, covered with film and germinated in the light, but not in the sun, at a temperature not lower than 25°C at night and not lower than 29°C during the day. The seedlings need ventilation. It is necessary to avoid waterlogging and drying out of crops. Shoots appear after 3-4 weeks. Picking is carried out in separate containers with a diameter of 7 cm after the appearance of the first pair of true leaves.
