Sowing and germination

before sowing. Scarification and stratification are usually not required. Before sowing, short-term soaking can be carried out, first in warm water at 50-60°C for several minutes, then in a 1% solution of potassium permanganate for 1-2 hours. Additionally, growth stimulants can be used, for example balanced plant vitamin supplement, natural plant growth stimulant, amino-acid plant fertilizer, anti-stress adaptogen solution or root development stimulant. Sowing is carried out in the spring. Use a clean, loose substrate for seedlings with the addition of perlite or fine sand. The seeds are sown sparsely, since the seedlings form fleshy roots early, and are sprinkled with a light layer of soil. Humidification is carried out from a spray bottle or by gentle pouring. The container is kept in a greenhouse or under film at a temperature of about 21°C, in bright diffused light, with regular ventilation.
