IMMEDIATE Keep in freezer at 5°F in dry condition. Sow the seeds on the surface of Well Drained Seed Sowing Mix TTT. 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 viability of the seeds, kept under good conditions, is one year.
