How to improve the germination rate of butterfly flower seeds

Steps to improve the germination rate of Cleome seeds

Preparatory steps

First, you need to wash the spiderwort seeds with clean water and remove impurities, then put them in a tray with filter paper and seal the tray with plastic film.

Dark culture steps

Place the wrapped tray in a dark environment at a low temperature for about 10-12 hours.

Light culture steps

Take out the tray and place it in an environment with a temperature of about 20-25℃ and adequate light for 12-14 hours.

Seeding and cultivation steps

Repeat the above two steps of dark culture and light culture alternately until the radicle of the seeds turns white. Then you can sow or scatter the seeds in the sowing soil. After watering thoroughly, place them at a temperature of about 20-25℃ and culture them in appropriate light for 3 or 4 days. The seeds will germinate.

By placing the seeds alternately in a dark and low temperature culture environment and a light and relatively high temperature culture environment for treatment, and keeping the butterfly flower seeds moist, the seed coat is prompted to shrink and expand repeatedly, causing the seed coat to rupture and absorb water, thereby effectively promoting seed germination, and the germination rate is extremely high.
