💡 Pro Growing Tip: Sapodilla seeds have a hard protective coating but germinate well when fresh. 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!
