  • Soak the clean seeds in water for 24 hours.
  • Place the soaked seeds in a plastic bag with moist sand or moist peat moss.
  • Store the bag in the refrigerator for about 60 days, ensuring the medium remains moist.

Step 3: Sowing the Seed

After stratification:

  • Fill a small pot with a well-draining, soil-based potting mix.
  • Place the stratified seed in the pot and cover it with about 1 inch of soil.
  • Water the soil well and cover the pot with a plastic bag to create a humid environment.
  • Place the pot in a warm, bright location, avoiding direct sunlight.
