The common name for Enterolobium timbouva is Timbó or Brazilian Macuna. Here are 5 short tips for germinating its seeds:
Soak Seeds: Soak the seeds in warm water for 24-48 hours to soften the hard seed coat and promote faster germination.
Scarify the Seed Coat: Gently scarify the seed coat with sandpaper or a knife to help water penetrate and stimulate germination.
Warm Temperature: Keep the seeds at a temperature range of 70-85°F (21-29°C) to optimize germination.
Well-draining Soil: Use a light, well-draining soil mix to prevent waterlogging and support healthy root development.
Humidity: Keep the seeds in a humid environment by covering them with plastic or using a propagator to maintain moisture.
