Rather how to STOP Leopard seed from germinating LOL.
Gather fallen pods (I guess you have?) Shake, if a rattle you have seeds. Pods are a bit hard I use a nut-cracker. Free your seed. They stay viable a good while but if you want to sow now they probably won't need much treatment.
- poor hot water over and soak overnight or
-abrade them with a bit of sandpaper or even rub a bit on brick or concrete to just weaken one side of the seed.
Plant at about (soory old folk talk) 1/4 inch maybe 1/2 centimetre ?. Place somewhere warm but not in hot sun and be patient. Oh yes tree seed does better if roots not disturmbed for a bit so sow in a small individual pot if you have to spare - like a 2 inch tube then you can move on later. |
