Jaltomata procumbens (Creeping False Holly) [15 Seeds]

Germination Information: Start these seeds indoors in late winter to late spring. One option is to sow about 1/4 inch deep and set the pot in a warm, bright place for germination. Providing supplemental warmth with a heat mat can encourage germination. Even with that, though, sprouting can be slow, taking several weeks to a month or more. In 2023, I experimented with sowing the seeds on moist paper towel (folded and enclosed in a plastic bag and left under lights). I started them on April 1 and sprouting began on April 7. So, that’s another option worth considering for possibly faster results. I found a mention that soaking the seeds for several days before sowing can also help to speed germination. I suspect doing that helps to remove germination inhibitors, especially if you change the water one or twice a day during the soaking period.

Note that this information will not appear on the seed packet you receive.
