Basic Care About SEED

It is important to maintain the freshness of the seeds to promote good germination. Therefore to store All our seeds in a refrigerator for this purpose. Therefore, to preserve freshness until you're ready to begin the process of germination can store seeds purchased in the plastic bag we provided. You can place the seeds in the vegetable drawer the refrigerator.

On the instructions of germination

When ready to germinate the seeds, you have two (2) germination methods: germination natural or forced germination.

Natural germination: Sow seeds outside in autumn. Hibernate seed must all the necessary natural processes seeds require to germinate. Next spring, you should have sprouts.

With forced germination, they fill the germination process artificially. Therefore, you must follow the steps listed below. Each seed is different. However, most of they need three (3) steps. Some may require more time than others require less in May These measures include scarification, stratification and plantation.

1 – Scarification

Each seed has a shell around the interior in vivo. Some are harder than others. The objective of the scarification process is to soften the skin and allow the water to reach the interior of the seed. You scarify seeds by placing in water, usually a glass or a plate, for a period of four (24) forty-eight (48) hours. The rule seems to be the use hot water. Some seeds require boiling water, while others require water at room temperature. Usually, viable seeds will drown after the twenty-four (24) hours, while others float on top. If there are still seeds floating after the forty-eight (48) times, you can throw them as they are empty seeds. Once finished, ready to begin the next step (please bear aware that some seeds need to go directly to the third phase).

2 – The cold stratification

The next stage is the period cold stratification. This step is where all the magic of nature occurs. In nature, most seeds fall from trees in autumn. Therefore, seeds overwinter in colder temperatures, which allows the chemical in the seeds develop and initiate the germination process, Once the ideal temperature is reached in the spring. In the forced germination process, attempts to recreate the winter. To accomplish this process, use the following materials:

Ziplock plastic bag
Paper towel
Water

Fold the napkin in half and moisten with water. It should not be wet, but moist. Place the seeds in a damp paper towel and fold over the seeds. Place the paper towel with seeds in a plastic zipper bag and store in your refrigerator for a period of thirty (30) to eighty (120) days. We suggest check your seeds every thirty (30) days to prevent rotting and allow adequate air circulation. Also review the germs. If Such is the case, take the seeds sprouted and continue to the next step. If not, wait time, then go to the next step.

3 – Seeding

Planting can be done on the ground or in a saucepan. You can use any soil suitable for planting and cultivation. Play a game opening in the floor (approximately half (1 / 2) inches deep), place the seeds in the opening and covered with soil a few millimeters. Keep the soil moist.

Additional measures for certain species

If you choose to germinate the seeds in the forced germination process, it may be necessary to follow this extra step. This step is done before the cold stratification. All you have to do is expose the seeds at room temperature for thirty (30) to ninety (90) days. This is called thermal stratification is done by letting seeds exposed to a plaque on his desk. After reaching this stage will be repeated with cold stratification.
