Waking up and germinating seeds is a very interesting and rewarding process in the garden and garden. Today in the following video we share theoretical content with a little practice to help you maintain your own plants.
To achieve successful germination, keep these three basic concepts in mind:
There are three types of dormancy that are key to awakening and germinating seeds.
layering: Simulate the conditions under which the seeds will awaken, e.g. extreme heat or cold, frost, fire, pH, sprouting, etc.
scarification: more typical of tree seeds, such as legumes or citrus fruits with very hard shells. The procedure consists of abrading or “injuring” the skin and then leaving it in the water for several hours, between 8 and 12 hours.
leaching: It’s about mimicking what happens when the seeds pass through the digestive tract of animals that eat their fruit. It’s a kind of “rot”. It’s all about getting rid of the mucus that creates the germ inhibition. Ideal for tomatoes, for example.
Beyond these classifications, it is important to observe nature and what is happening to each species to ensure their continued existence on this earth.
