Germination of
Kalanchoe tetraphylla
Scalloped Flapjack Paddle Plant: Red pancake plant, Kalanchoe thyrsiflora 'Red'
Hippophae rhamnoides seeds should be stratified for several months before sowing to improve germination rates. Stratification can be done by mixing the seeds with a moist, sterile medium (such as vermiculite or sand) and placing them in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for 2-3 months. After stratification, the seeds can be sown in a well-draining soil mix that is moist but not waterlogged. Sow the seeds about 1/4 inch deep in the soil mix, and cover the container with plastic wrap or a clear lid to create a humid environment. The container should be placed in a warm location with bright, indirect light. Keep the soil moist but not wet, and mist the seeds with water as needed to maintain humidity. Germination can take several weeks to a few months.
Some of plants may have very have specific germination requirements that may not be covered in these general instructions.
Many seeds require pre-treatment before sowing which we try to list here when we can, but this information may not be present here. Germination times and germination temperatures are to be a guide only. Many factors can DRASTICALLY affect this.
It's always a good idea to research the specific germination requirements from multiple sources for each plant before attempting to grow them from seed.
