Sowing instructions
SPRING Sow the seeds at 2mm depth in the Acid Substrate and pouwder with 2mm Smoked Vermiculite (0,012g/cm²) between 59-68°F. The container with the seeds is placed in a saucer of water until germination occurs. As a result, the moisture reaches the seeds by capillary action and ensures that the seeds do not dry out. The seeds germinate in 7-17 weeks.
