Propagation & Germination
ORGHPS Germination Guide: Sow at 20°C for 6 weeks, then place @ 4°C for 6 weeks, then slowly raise temperature to 10°C for 6 weeks. If there is no germination, repeat the cycle. Requires scarification. Nick or rub between sheets of sandpaper. Requires soaking. Place in warm water until seeds swell, usually 24-48 hours. Discard water and any seeds that remain floating. * nick carefully; sow fresh or soak old seed; prechill 4 weeks, (or L), bring indoors once germinated to avoid temperature shock; transplant at 4 leaves
