Seed Storage<\/strong><\/p>\n

The storage behavior of this species is orthodox (desiccation-tolerant seeds); dry to 15-20% eRH and store at -20 \u00b0C.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Germination requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n

The seeds of this species are non-dormant. Sterilize seeds before placing them on wet germination paper. Then germinate under an alternating temperature regime of 15\/20 \u00baC 20\u00baC (the higher temperature for 16 hours of light and the lower one for 8 hours of dark).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
