Seed Handling Instructions:

Soak the seeds for 24 hours, then warm and cold stratify.

First, warm stratify at approximately 20-25°C for 4 months, followed by cold stratification at approximately 1-5°C for another 4 months.

After this process, sow the seeds approximately 2.5 cm deep.

Provide a sunny location sheltered from the wind. The soil should be fertile, humus-rich, and slightly acidic.

Ensure constant moisture, but avoid overwatering.
