Pachycereus PRINGLEI

Sowing and germination

To improve germination, the seed shell is first slightly sawed off, or the seeds are soaked for several hours in a weak solution of potassium permanganate, then sown slightly deeper into a loose substrate. The crops are moistened with a spray bottle, covered with film and germinated in the light, but not in the sun, at a temperature of 16-22°C. The seedlings need ventilation. It is necessary to avoid waterlogging and drying out of crops. Transplantation to a permanent place can be carried out immediately after the sprouts appear.
