Chamaedorea ELEGANS 'NEGRITA'

Sowing and germination

Seeds are pre-soaked for 24-48 hours in warm water with the addition of stimulants (SUPERthrive, HB-101, Aminozol, Epin or Zircon), then sown in a mixture of deciduous, turf soil and peat (1:3:1) or in a peat-sand substrate to a depth of 1.5-2 cm, moistened with a spray bottle, placed in greenhouse or covered with film and germinated in the light, but not in the sun at a temperature of 20-25°C. The seedlings need ventilation. It is necessary to avoid waterlogging and drying out of crops. Seeds germinate in 1 to 6 months. The seedlings are picked after 7 days after the appearance of the first leaf into pots with a substrate of appropriate soil and sand. After picking, the sprouts are watered abundantly and placed in a well-lit place.
