Here are 5 short tips for germinating Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum) seeds:
- Soak Seeds – Soak seeds in warm water for 12-24 hours to soften the outer coating.
- Use Well-Draining Soil – Plant in a loose, well-draining soil mix to prevent waterlogging.
- Warm Temperature – Keep seeds at around 25-30°C (77-86°F) for optimal germination.
- Light Requirements – Provide bright, indirect light; Napier grass seeds need light to germinate.
- Keep Moist – Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy during germination.
Germination usually takes 7-14 days, so be patient and maintain steady conditions.
