8. Germination 1 (see here for instruction with pictures)

To get the best seed germination results, we advise you to germinate the seeds according to our standard procedure, with which we obtain germination rates of ± 95 % for all varieties:

- use a grow room with a stable temperature of 20 degrees Celsius.

- use soil with a pH-value of ± 7.0.

- the soil should not be too dry or too wet.

- sow the seeds in a container about 5 mm deep.

- after sowing press the earth lightly, this stimulates even sprouting.

- spray the soil lightly with water.

- cover the container with thin transparent plastic foil to achieve an optimal greenhouse effect.

- after 1 to 10 days the seeds will have sprouted. Now remove the plastic foil.

- sprinkle the soil regularly with water, wait till the upper layer has dried out, and sprinkle again with water.

after 1 - 2 weeks the seedlings will be strong enough to put them in a larger container.

We do not take responsibility for seed germination. We do seed germination tests every 3 months to keep our seed stock in optimum condition. All seeds from our collection are grown organically.
