Equipment needed :
- seeds ( of course )
- paper towels
- air-tight plastic container
- pocketknife or sandpaper
- water
I have found that I always get reliable germination results using the following technique :
Method :
-
LIGHTLY chip/scarify outer seed coat in one place. I stress lightly because if you do it too roughly it will ruin a good seed.
-
Dampen paper towels and place seeds on it. Either fold or roll it up so that its pressing against the seeds.
-
Put paper towels with seeds inside into an air-tight plastic container.
-
Place in a warm location like on top of a TV set, VCR, or refridgerator.
-
Open every 12 hours to allow oxgen into the container and check on the seeds. Most should germinate in about 24 hours, but there may be a few that need a bit longer.
