Strelitzia REGINAE

Sowing and germination

When propagating by seed, the seeds must be prepared for sowing. Remove orange hairy tufts; before sowing in the ground, they are soaked for 1-2 days in water, but it is better, to speed up germination, to keep them in a solution of phytohormones, then plant them in well-drained soil from a mixture of peat and leaf soil to a depth of 1.5 times the size of the seed. When soaking and germination, it is necessary to maintain a constant temperature of at least 25 degrees. Lower temperatures delay the germination process. The first transplant into well-drained soil is carried out in the phase of 2-3 leaves. Further transshipment of growing specimens is done depending on the filling of the pots with roots, without waiting for the very dense entanglement of the earthen coma, which can negatively affect the growth rate.
