Irish moss, Chondrus crispus, Carrageen moss, Sea moss, Carrageen, Red seaweed
GERMINATION METHOD (direct sow vs start indoors, etc.) Start indoors in flats or surface sow outdoors on a fine, firmed bed. PRE-TREATMENT (scarification / stratification / soaking, only if required) None. SOWING DEPTH Surface sow; press in. Do not bury. LIGHT REQUIREMENT (light/dark to germinate) Light required. TEMP RANGE 18–22°C (65–72°F). MOISTURE & MEDIUM Keep continuously moist; use a fine, well-drained medium. DAYS TO GERMINATE 10–21 days. NOTES (dormancy quirks, transplant tips, etc.) Avoid drying out. Transplant in small plugs once seedlings knit together.
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.
