Gmelina ARBOREA

Sowing and germination

To increase germination, seeds are pre-soaked for 48 hours in warm water with the addition of stimulants (SUPERthrive, HB-101, Aminosol, Epin or Zircon) or kept in the dark in damp sand at a temperature of 20°C, after which the pointed ends of the seeds are removed and the seeds themselves are sown in a mixture of sand and loam and sprinkled with a thin layer of sand, moistened with a spray bottle, placed in a 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. Seed germination time is 2–3 weeks. Picking should be done after the first pair of leaves appears - 3-4 weeks after the first shoots appear in small pots.
