Seed germination

[Patrick Palms]

I have 50 Adonidia seeds. Any one give me some advice on best way to germinate ? Some say put seeds into empty zip bag, spray in some water and add seeds and zip up. .you herd of this way before ?

Sowing in zipbags isn’t uncommon but you’ll need to add a clean substrate as well! Personally I don’t you the zipbag method but simply sow multiple seeds together in a pot after soaking the seeds for 48h in lukewarm water. The covered pot is placed on a warm spot as on top of the heating system. Adonidia does germinate quite easily. 

For more details you may always take a look at my sowing manual:

Hot water is best. I use the hottest water out of the tap and soak for up to 5 days depending on species and my germination days have dropped while my rates went up.  We germinate a lot of seed too.

As we can notice 

I use "hot" water from the tap as well but that temp drops quick enough. I prefer to call it therefor "lukewarm" to prevent enthusiast boiling their seeds 

PS. always impressed by your photos with seedlings as far as the eye can see....
