GERMINATION INSTRUCTIONS
General propagated from seeds which show widely variable germination rates, from a few weeks to months.
Longer germination times are seen particularly if conditions are not ideal.
It is recommended to soak the seeds for 24-48 hours in warm to the touch water, just prior to planting. Optionally, seeds can be lightly scarified with sand paper to provide some permeation on the seed coat.
Once pretreated, plant seeds 15-20 mm deep in moist, sterile soil. Seeds like bottom heat of +20-22C for faster germination. Cool soils will significantly delay seed germination time if not inhibit germination altogether. Standard room temperature can be too cool for proper germination.
Estimated germination time under optimal conditions: 6 weeks to 6 months.
Once sprouted, the vines usually produce by the first year.
