Germination & Cultivation

Seed should be sown in a well-draining propagation medium and provided with appropriate moisture during germination.

The growing medium should be kept moist without remaining continuously saturated, and good drainage is important during propagation and early seedling development.

As with seed propagation generally, germination performance and timing can vary depending on seed condition, storage, propagation methods, and environmental conditions.
