To significantly speed up germination, gently scarify or nick the edge of the seed coat with a file or sandpaper (being careful not to damage the inner embryo), then soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours before sowing. Plant them about 1\/2 inch deep in a warm, loose, well-draining seed-starting mix. Maintain a temperature of 25°C to 30°C and keep the medium lightly moist. Sprouting typically occurs within 2 to 6 weeks!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Betri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48409462571249,"sku":null,"price":134.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/4476\/0049\/files\/a_db9bce77-700b-498f-a984-98a9fcb9236e.webp?v=1784073219","url":"https:\/\/sejahteraseeds.com\/products\/fairchild-sapodilla-manilkara-zapota-35-premium-chikoo-seeds","provider":"Sejahtera Seeds and Bulbs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
