🌱 Seed Information
While we provide recommended propagation guidelines, germination success depends on factors such as temperature, moisture, and growing conditions. We encourage customers to refine their own methods for the best results. Once seeds leave our premises, their performance is beyond our control, but we’re always here to assist with any concerns.
