To accelerate germination, soak the French Mission seeds in room-temperature water for 24 to 48 hours until the parchment softens. Sow the seeds flat-side down about 1\/2 inch deep in a loose, damp sterile seed-starting mix or vermiculite. Maintain a consistently warm temperature (around 75°F \/ 24°C) and high humidity. Exercise patience—high-quality Arabica seeds sprout slowly and steadily, typically taking 4 to 8 weeks to push their iconic \"soldier\" hooks out of the soil!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Betri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48409667666161,"sku":null,"price":134.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/4476\/0049\/files\/a_e80d0a50-392e-4853-a3bc-5a37ba376ade.webp?v=1784086020","url":"https:\/\/sejahteraseeds.com\/products\/bourbon-french-mission-coffee-seeds-coffea-arabica-120-premium-certified-east-african-arabica-seeds-for-planting","provider":"Sejahtera Seeds and Bulbs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
