To improve success, carefully nick the edge of the seed coat or soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting. Sow about 1\/2 inch deep in a warm, moist, sterile seed-starting mix. Maintain a warm environment (around 25°C–30°C) and keep the soil lightly damp. Sprouting typically occurs within 2 to 4 weeks!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Betri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48415081890033,"sku":null,"price":134.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/4476\/0049\/files\/a_dae7e15a-b302-49bd-b239-253a05dbf621.webp?v=1784167161","url":"https:\/\/sejahteraseeds.com\/products\/alano-sapodilla-seeds-manilkara-zapota-35-premium-chikoo-seeds","provider":"Sejahtera Seeds and Bulbs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
