Crape Myrtle Tree Seed Pods 6 Count Count/Organic And NON-GMO

Crape Myrtle Tree Seed Pods 7 Count Count/Organic/NON-GMO Note # 1 – 6 Pods total. Within EACH pod there is approximately 15-20 seeds in it. So you are getting approximately 90 seeds all-together. You need to break open the pod in a very specific way as not to break the seeds inside which are almost paper thin and then break apart each respective chamber within the pods where more seeds are hidden. Note # 2 – There are several ways to germinate these and lucky for you I have tried them all. First of all: you will need a SEED STARTING MIX. Do not plant it in regular potting soil as it is too rough and not well-drained enough for these delicate seeds. There are 2 ways in which I personally have tried-out myself and have worked. One: plant it in a seed starting mix and wait 2-3 weeks for it to sprout. Some will sprout, some will not, that is just the nature of things. Method # 2: you break open the pod, and place the seeds on a piece of paper-towel, then you close it up (wrap-it-around) the seeds, take a water-sprayer and spray the whole paper towel until it is VERY MOIST but not soaking wet. You then place said paper-towel wrapped around the seeds in a small ziplock baggie. You then wait approximately 2 weeks or less checking on it once weekly.

Milkweed TROPICAL Bloodflower Asclepias Monarch Butterfly Host Plant 100 Seeds

we recommend starting inside, but before this happens Milkweed seeds need to go through a cold stratification period. Cold stratification is very important for the germination and growth of Milkweed. It helps break the seeds natural dormancy cycle. To do this, we recommend placing Milkweed seed in a damp paper towel or damp sand in a zip lock bag and place in your fridge for 3 – 6 weeks (30 days). Place in an area of the fridge, where it won’t get damaged. We taped ours to the bottom of a refrigerator shelf.Growing IndoorsPlanting In Spring: Once the 30 days are complete, it’s time to plant the cold stratified Milkweed (asclepias) seeds. We recommend planting in 2-4” peat pots. Fill peat pots ¾ of the way with seed starting potting soil and gently add water. Water should be able to drain through the peat pots. Once the soil is damp, place 1-2 cold stratified seeds into each pot. To finish, place 1/4 inch of soil on top of the seed.Germinating milkweed seed in a zip lock bag.Planting In Fall: If you’re planting Milkweed seed in the fall, let nature do the cold stratification for you! There is no need to place your seeds in the refrigerator before planting, you can plant seeds directly into the soil after there have been a few frosts in your area. This allows for the seeds to remain dormant for the winter and come up in the early spring. Clear away any existing growth and using your index finger to measure, create 1.5″ holes for each Milkweed seed. We recommend spacing seeds about 4-6” apart. Place a seed in each hole and cover. Water thoroughly.Watering: Gently water the planted seed to give additional hydration. The best way to water is from the bottom up. Use a flat pan under the peat pots and add a half inch of water to the bottom of the tray. Don’t over water as it can cause fungus. Water every day or every other day as needed, the best way to test the soil dampness is to touch it. If the soil seems dry then add water; if it’s wet, wait for the soil to dry out to water. Light Requirements: For the next few weeks, make sure the Milkweed is either in a sunny window, in a green house or under a grow light. Milkweed needs lots of sun and warmth to grow. If you’re using a grow light, make sure to lower the bulb closer to the pots or your seedlings may become leggy, as they stretch to the light. In our experiment, this happened to us. Ideally a sturdier stem is better. Cold stratified seeds should germinate and sprout within 10-15 days once planted. In total Milkweed from the day they are cold stratified to growth can take 40 plus days, so be patient!Other planting options: Place dry seed (not stratified) in seed starting soil and plant in peat pots under a grow light or in a greenhouse to germinate seeds. The success rate for this is low and more difficult to accomplish. If you choose to use this option it can take months for the seeds to germinate.If you are planting seed outside, we suggest seeding in late fall, and let the Milkweed seed lay on the ground through winter. Milkweed seed will have a long winter of dormancy, so once the sun comes out and the ground warms in the spring, the seeds will germinate on their own.
