🌱 Propagation Instructions Germination Method

1. Preparation: Soak seeds in warm water for 24-48 hours prior to sowing to help soften the seed coat.
2. Sowing Mix: Use a well-draining seed-raising mix, such as a blend of peat moss and perlite, or a good quality potting mix.
3. Sowing: Plant seeds just below the surface of the soil, lightly covered.
4. Moisture: Keep the mix consistently moist but avoid overwatering, which can lead to rot.
5. Warmth & Humidity: Maintain a warm environment (ideally 25-30°C). Covering the pot with clear plastic wrap or a dome creates a mini-greenhouse effect to retain humidity and warmth.
6. Light: Place in a bright location, but out of direct sunlight.
7. Care: Germination can be slow and irregular, often taking 3 to 12 months. Once seedlings emerge and are large enough to handle (e.g., 2-3 cm tall with a true leaf), carefully pot them into individual containers.
