Casuarina cunninghamiana (River Sheoak) seeds are relatively easy to germinate. Here are five key tips:

No Stratification Needed – Unlike some species, these seeds do not require cold stratification and can be sown directly.

Well-Draining Soil – Use a sandy or loamy mix with good drainage to prevent root rot.

Surface Sowing – Scatter seeds on the soil surface and press them in lightly without burying them, as they need light to germinate.

Consistent Moisture – Keep the soil evenly moist but avoid waterlogging. A fine mist sprayer works well to maintain moisture.

Warmth & Light – Provide temperatures of 20-25°C and bright, indirect sunlight. Germination usually occurs within 1-3 weeks.
