Here are five short tips for germinating Mukal Myrrh (Commiphora wightii):
Stratify Seeds: Cold-stratify seeds by soaking them in warm water for 24 hours before planting to improve germination rates.
Scarify the Seeds: Gently scarify the seed coat with sandpaper or a file to help water penetrate and encourage sprouting.
Warmth and Light: Provide a warm environment (70-85°F / 21-29°C) with indirect light to mimic their natural habitat conditions.
Use Well-Draining Soil: Plant in a well-draining mix (like cactus or succulent soil) to avoid waterlogging, which can cause rot.
Keep Moist, Not Wet: Water lightly to keep the soil moist but never soggy, as overwatering can lead to seed rot.
