🌱 Propagation Instructions
- Sowing Time: Best sown in spring or early summer after the last frost, or in autumn in milder climates. Avoid the coldest or hottest months of the year.
- Soak the Seeds: Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours to soften the seed coat and improve germination rates.
- Sowing Depth: Sow seeds 1 cm (½ inch) deep in a well-draining seed mix. For slow-to-germinate seeds, scarify (gently nick) the seed coat before sowing.
- Maintain Moisture and Warmth: Keep the soil moist but not soggy, and place the container in a warm spot (21-27°C) for the best germination conditions.
- Germination Timeframe: Expect germination in 4-6 weeks, though it may take longer.
- Seedling Care: Once seedlings have several sets of leaves and are strong enough, transplant them into larger pots or outdoors (after the risk of frost has passed). Remember, Buckinghamia prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil and a tropical or subtropical climate.
