How many days does it take for Podocarpus seeds to germinate (how to accelerate germination, can germination be exposed to light)

1. How many days does it take to germinate?

If the seeds of Podocarpus are fresh when planted, they will germinate in about ten days after planting. In addition, it is best to carry out germination treatment before planting, so that the survival rate can be higher and the germination time can be shortened.

2. How to germinate

When germinating, you must first soak the seeds in water. Boiled water can be used. The water temperature should be close to the indoor temperature. The seeds should be completely soaked in water. It will take about four days for them to fully absorb the water. After taking it out, let it dry slightly and wrap it with paper towel. Small sprouts will grow in about five days.

3. Can it see light after germination?

The seeds that have been germinated will have sprouted when they are planted. It is best not to rush to expose them to light after planting. Cover them with straw, otherwise the light will damage the new sprouts and affect their growth. Water it frequently to keep it moist. After a week when the seedlings have grown steadily, remove the straw and gradually increase the light exposure.
