CANADA POST IS ON STRIKE AGAIN - We have removed Canada Post as a shipping option and are now shipping with UPS AND FEDEX. (They are more expensive and have added preditory premiums while Canada Post is on strike, but they are still moving parcels) All Lettmail-shipped items will still be proccessed and dropped with carrier weekly but will only start to move once mail service resumes. Parcels to PO boxes will be shipped once mail service resumes.
Germination of
Xantostemon Aurantiacus 'Red & Yellow'
New Caledonia Shrub - Rhaphidophora tetrasperma
Xanthostemon aurantiacus 'Red & Yellow', also known as Red & Yellow Penda, is a tree species native to Australia. To germinate Xanthostemon aurantiacus 'Red & Yellow' seeds, start by placing them in a bowl of hot water for 24 hours to help break the seed coat. Then, sow the seeds in a well-draining seed-starting mix and cover them with a thin layer of soil. Keep the soil moist and maintain a temperature of 70-80�F (21-27�C). Germination should occur within 3-6 weeks. Once the seedlings have emerged, gradually increase light exposure and begin to fertilize with a balanced fertilizer.
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.
