Five germination tips for Dalbergia nigra (Brazilian Rosewood) seeds:
Scarify the Seeds: Use sandpaper or soak the seeds in hot water for 24 hours to break dormancy and improve germination.
Soak Before Planting: Soak seeds in water for 24-48 hours before planting to soften the seed coat and encourage sprouting.
Use Well-Draining Soil: Ensure the soil is well-draining, like a mix of sand, loam, and organic matter, to avoid waterlogging.
Warm Temperature: Keep the seeds in a warm environment, around 25-30°C (77-86°F), for optimal germination.
Light but Not Direct Sun: Germinate seeds in a spot with indirect sunlight, as they need light but not harsh direct exposure while sprouting.
