💡 Pro Growing Tip
Kapok seeds have a firm outer coat that benefits from a little assistance to kickstart germination. For the best and most uniform results across a large batch, soak the seeds in warm water for 12 to 24 hours prior to sowing. Plant them about 1/2 inch deep in a loose, well-draining seed-starting mix or directly into deep nursery bags. Keep the soil warm and consistently moist—under ideal sunny conditions, you will see robust seedlings emerge in just 7 to 14 days!
