To break dormancy and achieve rapid, uniform sprouting, gently nick or file the rounded edge of the seed coat (avoiding the pointed embryo end), then soak the seeds in warm water for 12 to 24 hours prior to planting. Sow the seeds roughly 1 inch deep in warm, sterile, well-draining seed-starting mix. Maintain a constant soil temperature of 24°C to 30°C. Keep the medium lightly moist, and your vigorous green sprouts will proudly break through the soil in 7 to 14 days!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Betri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48409470107889,"sku":null,"price":134.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/4476\/0049\/files\/a_a0ad1024-dc03-4bf2-91d3-2bc849f3743c.webp?v=1784074077","url":"https:\/\/sejahteraseeds.com\/products\/long-white-bitter-melon-momordica-charantia-20-premium-rare-heirloom-seeds","provider":"Sejahtera Seeds and Bulbs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
