Seed Handling Instructions:

The seeds require a two-step stratification process:

Mix the seeds with moist, fine-grained sand and maintain a temperature of 21-30°C for approximately 2 months. After this process, transfer the seeds to a cool place, such as a refrigerator, for 4-6 months, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist.

Sow the seeds in April or May at a depth of 2-3 cm. Use a light potting mix. Keep the soil moist, but avoid overwatering.
