🌱 Propagation Instructions:
Sowing Time: While seeds can be sown year-round in many parts of Australia, the best times to sow are in spring or autumn, avoiding the coldest and hottest months of the year.
Acacia seeds have a hard coat and require pre-treatment for successful germination. Follow these steps:
- Preparation: Place seeds in a heatproof container. Pour boiling water over the seeds to cover them fully. Soak seeds overnight.
- Sowing: Sow in well-draining seed-raising mix, covering lightly with soil.
- Moisture: Keep soil moist but not waterlogged.
- Temperature: Keep in a warm position. The ideal germination temperature is 18-25°C.
- Timeframe: Germination typically occurs within 2–4 weeks, depending on temperature.
- Care: Once seedlings are strong enough, transplant them into larger pots before planting.
