Liriodendron CHINENSE

Sowing and germination

To improve germination, seeds are pre-soaked for 8-12 hours in warm water with the addition of stimulants: SUPERthrive HB-101, Aminosol, Epin or Zircon. For planting, a soil mixture is prepared from humus, turf soil and peat taken in equal parts. For looseness, you can add river sand to the soil. The substrate is moistened, after which seeds are planted into it to a depth of 1-1.5 cm. The container with the planting, covered with film or a transparent lid, is kept for 3-4 weeks in a cool place at a temperature not exceeding 10°C. The soil must be regularly moistened and ventilated. After germination, the container is placed in a well-lit place with a temperature of 18-22°C, and the shelter is removed. As soon as the seedlings reach a height of 15-18 cm, they can be transplanted into separate pots.
