Germination of
Pterocarpus angolensis
Bloodwood Tree - Bleeding Tree, Almaciga, Pterocarpus angolensis.
Pterocarpus angolensis: To germinate Pterocarpus angolensis, start by scarifying the seeds to break their hard outer coat. Soak the seeds in water overnight, and then sow them in a well-draining soil mix. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil, and keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Place the pot in a warm, bright location, and germination should occur within 2-3 weeks.
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.
