5 short germination tips for Solanum violaceum (Purple Solanum):
Soak Seeds: Soak the seeds in warm water for 12–24 hours before planting to soften the seed coat and encourage faster germination.
Warm Temperature: Maintain a temperature range of 70-85°F (21-29°C), as warm conditions are ideal for germination.
Use Well-Draining Soil: Plant seeds in a well-draining, lightweight potting mix to prevent waterlogging and promote root growth.
Light Coverage: Lightly cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil or vermiculite, as they require light to germinate.
Humidity: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged, and maintain high humidity with a plastic cover or humidity dome until germination occurs.
