To accelerate the sprouting process and ensure a uniform rise across this 35+ seed batch, carefully nick the rounded edge of the seed coat or pre-soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours prior to planting to soften the shell. Sow the seeds roughly 1\/2 inch deep in a warm, moist, sterile seed-starting mix. Maintain a consistently hot environment (around 25°C–32°C) under bright, indirect light, and keep the soil damp but never soggy. Sprouting typically begins reliably within 2 to 4 weeks!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Betri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48417449443569,"sku":null,"price":134.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/4476\/0049\/files\/a_b08d7a26-25cf-424a-9bca-a9930a7e052e.webp?v=1784253417","url":"https:\/\/sejahteraseeds.com\/products\/cricket-ball-sapodilla-seeds-manilkara-zapota-35-premium-large-round-honey-sweet-chikoo-seeds","provider":"Sejahtera Seeds and Bulbs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
