Title: Successful method(s) for germinating Annona seeds?
Post by: Shovel n Seed on February 07, 2023, 08:08:04 AM

I've spent a decent amount of money on annona seeds without much success at germinating them, any good methods?

vermiculite and time-

most take ~1yr to pop

anecdotally the smaller the seed the harder to germinate

GA3 bath - mine have popped up from weeks to months, beats waiting a year. Ive germinated in vermiculite, orchid moss, and soil.

I found a good rate of germinating them in vermiculite and placing the seed trays inside large Ziploc bags keeping then warm and humid.  After germination I place then on a shaded area protected with some netting until they establish.
