Pink Orchard Germination:
1) Scarify the seeds by rubbing with rough grit sandpaper until the hard shell will absorb water. (Not too deep)
2) Soak the seeds overnight in hot water. Use a thermos so it will stay warm as long as possible.
3) Sow the seeds 1-2 cm deep in sandy well drained potting soil, placed in a warm position and kept moist, not soaking wet. Using a heated propagator mat to keep the soil at 77 degrees F. is a must.
4) Cover with a humidity dome, or a small piece of plastic with a few small holes cut into it. This will help hold the heat and humidity in for them.
5) Germination should occur within 3-4 weeks but it can take longer as with most any tropical seeds, so don't give up.
